The Curse of Sherlock Holmes: The Basil Rathbone Story - David Clayton

Descriere The Curse of Sherlock Holmes: The Basil Rathbone Story - David Clayton

\n \nBasil Rathbone is synonymous with Sherlock Holmes.\n \nHe played the Victorian sleuth in the fourteen Fox/Universal films of the 1930s and '40s, as well as on stage and radio. For many people, he is the Holmes.\n \nBasil Rathbone grew to hate Sherlock Holmes.\n \nThe character placed restrictions on his career: before Holmes he was an esteemed theatre actor, appearing in Broadway plays such as The Captive and The Swan, the latter of which became his launchpad to greater stardom. But he never, ever escaped his most famous role.\n \nBasil Rathbone was not Sherlock Holmes.\n \nIn The Curse of Sherlock Holmes, celebrated biographer David Clayton looks at the behind-the-camera life of a remarkable man who deserved so much more than to be relegated to just one role.\n
