Voidsville Follies

Works by William Gillette (1)

Language: Silent, English titles, released in May 1916
Minutes: 115

This film exists as supporting evidence for three well-established postulates in film theory:

Early attempts to bring stage successes to silent film were disastrous. Here we waste nearly two hours watching paint dry.
A superhero without a worthy nemesis is a superdud. Moriarty doesn't enter until 45 minutes in, so over a third of the film is just Watson, Sherlock, and his little concubine Billy.
Sherlock Holmes is a boring smug prick.
