PUT YOUR SLEUTHING CAP ON

Enola Holmes is the latest in a long line of Sherlock Holmes stories and spinoffs to wind up on screen. Here are several other takes on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic character:

SHERLOCK HOLMES (1916), AMAZON

This film starring William Gillette in the lead role was thought to be long gone until a duplicate negative was discovered in a French archive. Gillette played Sherlock Holmes on stage many times, his deerstalker cap and Inverness cape shaping the image we still conjure today.

THE PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES (1970), VARIOUS

We're skipping a few generations, and over adaptations like the TV shows from 1954 and 1965, to The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. It is notable for writers Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond's clever yet melancholy tone, from which the popular BBC series that premièred a few decades later sought inspiration.

WITHOUT A CLUE (1988), ITUNES

Without a Clue upends the established dynamic of Doyle's characters by centring John Watson, ordinarily Holmes's righthand man, as a doctor who solves mysteries and creates a fictional Sherlock character to satisfy the public so that he, Watson, can continue his work incognito. Ben Kingsley plays Watson, and Michael Caine is the actor hired to appear as “Sherlock” in public.

SHERLOCK HOLMES (2009), VARIOUS

Robert Downey Jr. leaned into his eccentricity for Guy Ritchie's action-heavy version. It also stars Jude Law as Watson. The sequel came out in 2011, with another slated for 2021.

SHERLOCK (2010), NETFLIX

No discussion of Sherlock Holmes is complete without the BBC show from Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat that boosted Benedict Cumberbatch's celebrity and swept the Emmy Awards. The 13-episode series also stars

Martin Freeman as Watson and includes a memorable turn from Fleabag favourite Andrew Scott as the villain Moriarty.

MR. HOLMES (2015)

Set in the 1940s, Mr. Holmes features Ian McKellen as a 93-year-old Holmes with a faltering memory. He attempts to piece together his final case with the help of his housekeeper's son (Milo Parker).
