Scott Lord Silent Sherlock Holmes: Sherlock Holmes Baffled (Marvin, 1900)
Author Ron Haydock, in his volume Deerstalker: Holmes and Watson on screen, is succinct in describing the first appearance of Arthur Conon Doyle's Sherlock Holmes on screen, "Directed by Arthur Marvin, Edison's Sherlock Holmes film was shot with only one set, and one strait-on full shot camera angle and can be viewed time and again without boredom. It's fast, entertaining and over before you would like it to be."
