When did the phrase Elementary my dear Watson originate?

The first documented occurrence is in P. G. Wodehouse's comic novel Psmith, Journalist (1915) which was first published in serial format in 'The Captain' magazine in 1909-10.Well, Holmes never actually said that to Watson in any of Conan Doyle's books, although he came pretty close sometimes."Excellent!" I cried."Elementary." (Holmes)Although it cannot be exactly certain where the phrase originated from, or when, some people tend to believe it was first heard by the public in the 1929 film Return of Sherlock Holmes, where (in the final scene) Holmes (played by Clive Brook) popped out the famous line, "Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary."However, the phrase's popularity is most likely tied to "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" tv series; 14 Holmes films produced in 1942 to 1946, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson. The phrase was used in almost every one of the fourteen films. It was probably then that the phrase got its fame.


Did Sherlock Holmes ever say- elementary my dear Watson?

Sherlock HolmesThis is a common misconception, actually. Not once did Sherlock say these words.In the story The Crooked Man, Holmes says: "Elementary," and he often addresses Dr. Watson as, "My dear Watson." Personally, I believe that this quote probably came from one of the early plays or episodes of Sherlock Holmes, and so now everyone naturally associates it with him. (Just a theory, though.)
