It's hard to imagine that from his performance in "Sherlock Holmes" that he would be a leading man in about 10 years time.

True indeed. This was Powell's first movie, and he looks bumpy in a few scenes. He doesn't seem to know what to do with his hands.

Such fun to see William Powell as a young man...in 1922 real time.
I am a HUGE fan of his, and just delighted to see him in his screen debut.
To think this was lost for decades....and then it took decades to restore it!
