The Voice of Terror (1942) is loosely based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story "His Last Bow." It was the first film in the Sherlock Holmes series to bring the master detective Dr. Watson into the terrifying modern world of Nazi sabotage and spies.

When taunting saboteurs warn of a Nazi invasion of the British Isles through their horrific radio menace the Voice of Terror, the British Intelligence's Inner Council calls in Sherlock Holmes to help in the crisis.

On the first night of their inquiry, Holmes and Watson find a dying man on their doorstep. His last word sends Holmes to London's seedy Limehouse district, where he enlists the aid of Kitty, the sweetheart of the slain man, to help find the saboteurs.

With the Voice of Terror promising new destruction in the coming days, Holmes and Watson must hurry to solve a complicated puzzle of terrorism and espionage. Preserved and restored in 35mm by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

    This was the first of the Sherlock Holmes Rathbone / Bruce films to be set in modern times, WW2 as opposed to late 19th century. A pretty good story involving the bad guys of the day, Nazis. The big distraction in this is Basil Rathbones hair, I can only describe it as very weird.

    The first "modern" era Holmes adventure. This is one of the best in the "modern" series of Universal's treatment of classic detective. This film definitely reflects its times. The war was raging in Europe and the enemy is the NAZIs. This leads to all kinds of great lines about the evilness of the NAZIs. While it may be politically incorrect in retrospect, it is a great treat to see the patriotism that rallied the sleeping giant once again.

    A very impressive film, and a slick "modernisation" of the Holmes legend. Although very propagandist (It was, after all, a British film in 1942) the plot is quite captivating, and Rathbone is excellent as the legendary sleuth.
