Dear friends,

Sherlock Holmes is truly one of the greatest literary characters ever created. From the brilliant mind of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes went on to became a staple of popular literature, film and television.

Now, with the newest incarnation of the world's greatest detective playing in movie theaters I thought we should take a look at two different feature film versions of the exploits of Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Discover what has made Sherlock Holmes such an entertaining franchise for more than 120 years.
