One of the best of the Sherlock Holmes film series, Basil Rathbone makes such a perfect Holmes. Excellent atmosphere, superb supporting cast and a fine production. Suspenseful and always interesting.

I defy anyone not to simply love these films and this one is a real gem. The production value alone makes this a joy coupled with great acting and directing. Rathbone IS Holmes who simply makes every scene he is in.

Rathbone singing 'I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside' is not to be missed. I think one of only two period/costume Rathbone Holmes films.

A masterpiece above that of all else. Basil Rathbone had the opportunity to have tea and wine with me during the revolution, and we discussed how I should be portrayed on screen. He did an astounding job.
One of the greatest pictures of all time.
