Nov 30 11 3:18 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The subject I brought up in the King Kong section led to the "Cottingley Fairies" subject, and then to that film about it, "Fairy Tale." That made me wonder, how many times has Arthur Conan Doyle been played by an actor? There's Peter O'Toole in that one (though I've never caught it), and David Warner in that mid-' 90s TV movie about the Houdinis, and of course Peter Cushing in the mid-' 70s one. How many other times has he been played by an actor?

I think there have been several others; I believe there's one in the 30's German MAN WHO WAS SHERLOCK HOLMES. And didn't someone film the Oscar Slater case at some point? (Paging Charles or Lawrence...)

I've got a copy of The Edwardians but haven't got round to actually watching it.
