A Brief History of Sherlock Holmes

Lost and Found
This 1922 version starred John Barrymore as Holmes and Roland Young as Dr. Watson. Believed lost for decades, much of the film resurfaced in the mid-1970s and was restored by the George Eastman House. Furthermore, the movie features future MGM star William Powell in his first-ever screen appearance, playing the part of Foreman Wells.
