About Stronger than Sherlock Holmes
A bourgeois gentleman gets excited reading about cops and robbers on the newspaper. His wife, bored by his comments, falls asleep and right after, with the help of the warmth of the living room, he falls asleep too. Then, the shadow of an escaping robber comes to life from the newspaper. Suddenly the dreamer wakes up wearing the cop uniform and starts chasing him.
Directed by Giovanni Pastrone, Stronger than Sherlock Holmes leans on a strong ensemble — Domenico Gambino, Emilio Vardannes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1913.
