Starring BASIL RATHBONE and NIGEL BRUCE

Preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and Restored in 35MM!

Elementary, my dear Watson! The much-anticipated release of the digitally restored Sherlock Holmes films, starring Basil Rathbone, as the masterful detective and Nigel Bruce as his faithful cohort, will begin in October 2003. Twelve of the films in the Sherlock Holmes series underwent a long and painstaking preservation process by the UCLA Film and Television Archive to bring them back to their original 35 mm theatrical condition.

While the films have long been staples on television, and more recently on VHS, they have usually been seen in 16 mm prints. Grainy and washed out, these versions gave only a faint approximation of the pictorial beauty the films possessed in 35 mm. In restoring the series, UCLA had to weave together the best surviving original nitrate film elements with later acetate film copies, creating new preservation masters that duplicate the look and sound of the original films as closely as current technology permits. These restored versions include war bond tags and Universal Pictures logos that were removed from the original printing elements when Universal sold the series to an independent distributor in the 1950s.

The films are legendary, filled with ominous shadows, interesting camera angles and well-edited montage sequences. Roy William Neill produced and directed all but the first entry in the series.
