Goldwyn PicturesThis film was released in Great Britain as Moriarty. According to reviews (and obvious upon seeing the film), some of the exteriors were shot on location in England, both in London and at Hampton Court, and in Switzerland, while interiors were completed in New York City.
The film marked the motion picture debuts of actors Roland Young (1887-1953) and William Powell (1892-1984). Powell was billed onscreen as “William H. Powell.” John Barrymore, billed last in the credits, is identified only as “Mr. Barrymore.”
TConsidered a lost film until the discovery of camera negatives in the 1970s, Sherlock Holmes was restored (with some scenes missing) by the George Eastman House, with funding from Hugh Hefner, and is commercially available.
For information on other films based on the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, please consult the entry for the 1932 Fox film Sherlock Holmes, directed by William K. Howard and starring Clive Brook and Reginald Owen (see entry).

His friend and fellow student, Watson, asks him to help Prince Alexis clear himself of charges of a theft he did not commit. Holmes is able to do so, but not until years later, when he has established himself as a private detective on Baker Street in London, does he trap the real culprit, Professor Moriarty, and his agents in their attempts to blackmail Prince Alexis with the letters of his dead fiancé, Rose Faulkner, Alice's ...
