Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at the Cinema

Rating:
Summary: Another major story to screen work.
Review: A follow-up to his massive study of Robert Louis Stevenson on the screen, this is another of Scott Nollen's meticulous works chronicling the process of filmmaker's attempts to film the works of a great Victorian author. A lifelong devotee of Sherlock Holmes, Nollen also covers Arthur Conan Doyle's non-Holmes stories such as THE WHITE COMPANY and THE LOST WORLD. Conan Doyle's fascinating life is covered in detail, as well as all his stories and all the major films adapted from them. A terrific read, with a great foreword by 7% SOLUTION author Nicholas Meyer, who also contributed material to a couple chapters in the book. As with Nollen's ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON: LIFE, LITERATURE AND THE SILVER SCREEN, this book features many rare photos from the author's collection. A beautiful hardcover worth every penny!
