<div>
<br />While Sir Arthur Conan Doyle left this earthly realm on July 7, 1930, his character of Sherlock Holmes has never been more alive.  Through the current films and TV shows starring the great detective, his popularity only increases.  Publishers such as <a href="http://wessexpress.com/" target="_blank">Gasogene Books</a> and <a href="http://mxpublishing.com/" target="_blank">MX Publishing</a> focus mainly on new books about the great detective, and many more presses have at least one new Sherlock Holmes book in their catalogues.  Now another publisher has an opportunity for pastiche writers to compose new tales for the Sherlock Holmes canon. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: 18.7199993133545px; font-weight: bold;">Authors Needed</span></h3>
18thWall Publishing <a href="http://18thwall.com/2015/03/10/submissions-spotlight-the-science-of-detection-twelve-cases-of-sherlock-holmes/" target="_blank">is creating a 12 part Sherlock Holmes novella series</a> called <i>The Science of Deduction</i> that will be released in 2016.  One title will be released each month that year, and then in December, all 12 novellas will be bundled into a complete anthology. The stories themselves must be novellas of 15,000 - 30,000 words in length, with the author's voice and narrative style coming through.<br />
<br />
"People rarely realize how short the Sherlock Holmes novels are," explained James Bojaciuk,  CEO Duobus of 18thWall.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"<i>A Study in Scarlet</i> and <i>The Valley of Fear</i> are short novellas (padded out by long memories of the United States), and <i>The Sign of the Four</i> is a longish one. Only <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i> is, as they say, feature length -- but even then it is very short indeed. Yet when I look at my Sherlock Holmes shelves, it is overwhelmed with three-, four-hundred page novels and dozens of short story collections. I'd like to reclaim the novella form for Sherlock Holmes, which, personally, I think is the best length for his adventures."</blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Authors seeking to submit a story for the series should note that submissions may be traditional or can feature a Holmes of an alternative universe. "We're especially keen on well-researched alternate history," said Mr. Bojaciuk. "All the more so if this alternate history is in the vein of Kelly Hale's "Black Alice" (which reimagines Holmes and Watson as Enlightenment Era gentlemen modeled on Samuel Johnson and his own Boswell), or Michael Kurland's "Four Hundred Slaves" (which examines what Holmes and his biographer would have been like if they were Roman citizens)."<br />
<br />
<h3>
Some Rules Apply</h3>
While writers have freedom to explore a unique take on Sherlock Holmes, there are some strict ground rules.  There can be no erotica, no parodies, and no tales which disrespect the great detective in anyway.  As stated on the 18thWall website, "please keep the characters as close to their canonical counterparts as possible. Sherlock Holmes is not a werewolf; Watson did not murder his wife; Mycroft is not Moriarty’s lieutenant; Professor Moriarty is not a tulpa. This stance on canonicity extends through political opinions, sexuality, biography, and characterization. You can work outside these bounds, but do note that this may or may not be a harder sell to the editor."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Submissions are due to 18thWall Publishing by <b>November 1st, 2015</b>.  For more information, please see <a href="http://18thwall.com/2015/03/10/submissions-spotlight-the-science-of-detection-twelve-cases-of-sherlock-holmes/" target="_blank">the 18thWall website</a>.  Authors retain full rights to their characters and stories. And for those of you stuck on where to start a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, Mr. Bojaciuk  did say, "While not outré at all, I'd love to see war stories (particularly in the First World War) with Holmes and Watson."  </div>

<br />
Chuckie Gray, he's okay, but he's got no neck!<br />
<br />
If you recognize that chant, or maybe have shouted it at a movie screen yourself in the after-midnight hours, and you know what it means when there's a light at the old Frankenstein place, well, you're not a <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2MGN3fj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rocky Horror Picture Show</a></i> virgin any more.<br />
<br />
(Neither am I. A certain well-known Sherlockian saw to that back in October when she escorted me to a raucous performance at one of the many theatres that show the 1975 film <i>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</i> each year or each month or each week, with a "shadow cast" and audience participation. The same good friend plans to have me repeat the late-night experience, as a sort of booster shot, a few weeks from now. Enough said about that.)<br />
<br />
Chuckie, or rather Charles, Gray is the distinguished actor who played Mycroft Holmes in several of the Granada Television <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2MKXyhM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</a></i> and subsequent series 1985-1995. In <i>Rocky Horror</i> he is the scholarly Narrator (or Criminologist), with wing collar, cravat and cigarette holder — and, it has to be admitted, pretty much no neck. Audiences love to mock him, but then they love to mock all the characters. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0336509/?ref_=tt_cl_t3" target="_blank">Gray</a>, who died in 2000, also appeared in a couple of James Bond films and scores of other vehicles, and had a long stage career at places like the Royal Shakespeare Company.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
He's not the only <i>Rocky Horror</i> actor who appeared in the Granada series, which starred Jeremy Brett (or Charles Gray without Brett in the case of the regrettable late episode "The Mazarin Stone"). Jonathan Adams, who is Dr. Scott in <i>Rocky Horror</i>, played the scheming Jonas Oldacre in Granada's "The Norwood Builder."<br />
<br />
Feverish imaginations have occasionally called for a Holmes-Rocky crossover. One fan's blog suggests a film that would be<br />
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"loosely based on "The Final Problem." Sherlock has to stop Moriarty (a global rock superstar) from dominating the music world after discovering his evil plan to delete all other recordings bar his. It all comes to a head during his final open air gig at the Reichenbach Falls."</blockquote>
<br />
Playing, perhaps, Touch-a-touch Me? Maybe. For the time being, <i>Rocky Horror</i> fans are being titillated by news of a stage version this spring of <i>Shock Treatment</i>, a feeble 1981 film that follows some of the Rocky Horror characters into musical comedy territory. But there's a good chance the original <i>Rocky Horror Picture Show</i> will be in a cinema near you some Friday night soon, complete with audience yells aimed at Chuckie — sorry, Charles — Gray.<br />

<br />
<br />
[<i>Editor's note: this is the fourth in <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/search/label/Arthur%20Wontner#.VNZp7_nF_14" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">a series of four posts</a> on the Arthur Wontner Sherlock Holmes series, as reviewed by David Lee Andrews of <a href="http://www.comicbookandmoviereviews.com/2015/01/sherlock-holmes-greatest-case-sign-of.html#.VNWObfnF_14" target="_blank">Comic Book and Movie Reviews</a></i>]<br />
<br />
<br />
After closer inspection I've deduced that the following 75 minute movie made in 1932 was directed by Graham Cutts; and starred Arthur Wontner, Isla Bevan, with Ian Hunter. And how did I know such a thing? Well, I purchased a copy and watched it of course. And so should you, too.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<h4>
<b>The Story</b></h4>
Now calm down, Ms. Morstan (Isla Bevan). Please. There's no need for you to cry anymore. You're safe now, and completely out of harm's way. Although I wish I could have said exactly the same thing about some of your relatives.<br />
<br />
Well, quite time ago your father partnered up with a Major from the British army called Sholto (Herbert Lomas), so they could both steal a box of treasure from a known felon named Small (Graham Soutten). However, during this arduous encounter Sholto murdered your father in cold blood and spent the reminder of his days over here in London.<br />
<br />
Yet, the strange thing about this, my dear, is that as the years passed by he eventually came to the realization that his life of luxury was built on very fragile ground. And so, when it finally came time for Sholto to take his final breath, he told his two sons about what he had done, and they in turn hastily decided to send you some of his loot - in the form of a diamond necklace - for fear of Small''s return. <br />
<br />
Of course, Small did return, didn't he? And that's why you're here to see me today. Indeed, earlier one of his tattooed henchmen approached you at your florist's.<br />
<br />
But please, don't concern yourself, Ms. Morstan. I will now leave you in Doctor Watson's (Ian Hunter) more than capable hands, because what next transpires all begins anew when I say to myself those immortal words, "Come Sherlock (Arthur Wontner). The game is afoot." As an inept policeman makes a wrong arrest - a drunken Sherlock becomes a damn right pest - Watson and Mary take a trip to the fun-fair - and at the end of the day, a kiss from a fair lady, spells that love is in the air.<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>The Review</b></h4>

I'm afraid to say that this will be my last <a href="http://www.comicbookandmoviereviews.com/search?q=Arthur+Wontner">Arthur Wontner</a> Sherlock Holmes movie review because there aren't any more for me to see. It's a shame really, isn't it? Because on the whole most of them conveyed somewhat intriguing story lines that lavished us with pathos, mystery, plus an authentic vibe spearheaded by Arthur's portrayal of the Sherlock Holmes character.  <br />
<br />
Take this film for instance. In it, you will see him doing everything Holmes does in the books. You will see him poking fun at Watson and the police without a care in the world. You will hear him making one of his many articulate yet engrossing summations that'll make anyone think, "Wow!" And you'll even see him in disguise mixing in with the locals.<br />
<br />
But having said that, dear reader, do you know what impressed me the most about this mystery? It was that the camera work on show was very innovative for its time. Every now and then a scene was shot from a high perspective looking down to give it a sinister edge. Other times the film was sped-up to give it a more kinetic flow. And here and there you could see Holmes - or one of the other characters - through an object which was placed in the foreground, as if to give this scene a more artistic flourish!<br />
<br />
Also, something else I best mention about this movie was how Doctor Watson kept flirting with the Mary Morstan character. Honestly, my friends. When I saw what he was doing I couldn't help but cheer him on and applaud his more debonair antics. And without giving anything away, at the very end of it a friendship was sealed in a very 'to be continued' sort of manner.  <br />
<br />
Now on the flip side of things there were two aspects about this adventure I wasn't too keen on. Firstly, on occasion the sound quality was rather mumbled in note, and difficult for me to hear what was being said. And secondly, I had to wait for over twenty minutes before I could see Sherlock in front of the camera.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Apart from that though -- hey! -- this was one marvelous movie. And these are its cinematic facts. </div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Associated Talking Pictures first released this production in London, England on the exact same month Al Capone entered Atlanta Penitentiary convicted of income tax evasion. It was in May, 1932.</li>
<li>This film was loosely based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's second Sherlock Holmes story, <i>The Sign of the Four</i>, which was published by Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, in February, 1890.</li>
<li>The majority of this movie was shot at Ealing Studios, situated within the city of London.</li>
<li>I'm afraid to say that this adventure made one grievous factual error. Sherlock Holmes' residence isn't located at 22A Baker Street; it's located at 221B Baker Street.</li>
<li>To follow on from my previous fact, you might like to know that this movie makes three slight departures from its original source material. Firstly, Sholto doesn't murder Morstan. Secondly, "The Tattooed Man" doesn't make an appearance. And thirdly, it was set in 1887 and not the 1930s.</li>
<li>From 1914 to 2001 this story was re-made ten times in total.</li>
<li>This was the first feature length film to star the Shakespearian actor, Roy Emerton.</li>
<li>After this adventure saluted King and country, Arthur Wontner starred in the next <a href="http://www.comicbookandmoviereviews.com/search/label/SHERLOCK%20HOLMES">Sherlock Holmes film</a>, <i>The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes</i>; Isla Bevan starred in the filmic-short, <i>The Star Reporter</i>; and Ian Hunter starred in the romantic comedy <i>Marry Me</i>.</li>
</ol>
<br />
Overall I'd say <i>The Sign Of Four</i> was a great way for me to end my reviews on the Arthur Wontner series of Sherlock Holmes films. It had a great story line that was dynamic in places and authentic in attitude. And if you can look past some of its cosmetic flaws, all in all this is a must watch movie for any of you Sherlockian cinephiles out there<br />
