When a young prince is accused of a crime that could embroil him in international scandal, debonair super sleuth Sherlock Holmes comes to his aid, and quickly discovers that behind the incident lurks a criminal mastermind eager to reduce Western civilization to anarchy. Adapted from the hugely popular stage version of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories (by William Gillette), Sherlock Holmes not only provided Barrymore with one of his most prestigious early roles, but also presented the screen debuts of two notable actors: William Powell (The Thin Man) and Roland Young (Topper). Sherlock Holmes was mastered from a 35 mm restoration by the George Eastern House Motion Picture Department, and is accompanied by a score by Ben Model, performed on the Miditzer Virtual Theater Organ.
