The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax - Adaptations

Adaptations

  • The story had been adapted in 1965, part of the thirteen-episode Sherlock Holmes series starring Douglas Wilmer as Holmes and Nigel Stock as Watson.
  • The Granada TV adaptation starring Jeremy Brett was not completely faithful to the original story. The main action takes place in the Lake District, and though the Peters are apprehended, the ending is ultimately more downbeat; Lady Frances is psychologically traumatized by the deadly experience and is unlikely to fully recover. Holmes acknowledges the case as one of his few true failures, refusing to be rewarded by Green for bringing about a tragedy.
  • The story was also made in 1923 with Eille Norwood.
