Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The first definitive account of the life of Basil Rathbone, the man who would be Sherlock Holmes. Elementary is the first definitive account of one of Britain's most loved actors, Basil Rathbone. Though Rathbone had a long and distinguished acting career, it was as Sherlock Holmes that he achieved worldwide fame. Appearing in fourteen Holmes films, Rathbone made the role his own, and every actor who has since played the ingenious detective has been compared to him - almost always failing to live up to Rathbone's legacy. He continued his career in Hollywood, appearing in numerous roles, but he found it difficult to free himself of Holmes, eventually accepting he never would. This book spans Rathbone's journey from the trenches of the First World War, when he was awarded a Military Cross for bravery, through to a Hollywood career that earned him three Walk of Fame stars. It also takes in his life away from the silver screen, which included his lifelong friendship with Nigel Bruce, his trusty sidekick Dr Watson in all the Sherlock Holmes films. AUTHOR: David Clayton is the author of over fifty titles, including The Richard Beckinsale Story and Ollie: The Autobiography of Ian Holloway. SELLING POINTS: . Potential for WWI promotion given Rathbone's Military Cross . Long overdue biography of one of Britain's most popular actors . Original research and new interviews . Little known about Rathbone's private life prior to this book . Sherlock Holmes has enduring appeal around the world 16 b/w images The Curse of Sherlock Holmes is the first definitive account of one of Britains most loved actors, Basil Rathbone Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
