Leave your thoughts about Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzNot a great Sherlock (too many plot holes), but one that's entertaining, never dull and has a lot of intrigues going for it. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.The pacing is slack, the big mystery not mysterious enough, and the showdowns between Holmes and Moriarty a bit too silly for my taste. |
| User ReviewSue AAgain another classic with Basil Rathbone |
| User ReviewMelody MThis one is my favorite because it freaked my out the most! Basil Rathbone was excellent as Sherlock holmes! |
| User ReviewAndy FSecond in the Universal Rathbone and Bruce Holmes series, the 4th in the over-all Rathbone and Bruce Holmes series, has more suspense than the previous entry but still holds Holmes as a political figure. On Blu-Ray. |
| User ReviewPrivate Udid you know that sherlock holmes was also helping out the allies during the war? i didn't know how much until i saw this wartime spin on the classic sleuth. enjoyable if not exactly keeping with the original doyle mysteries. rathbone does do a splendid holmes as does bruce do dead-on watson. |
| User ReviewMatthew BThrilling stuff. Sherlock Holmes outsmarts the Nazi's helping to ensure an allied victory - it doesn't get much better that that now does it? Nice touch with Holmes paraphrasing one of Churchill's famous speeches too. |
| User ReviewJustin G"Elementary, my dear Watson" No matter time and place, nor black and white capture. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are the greatest of characters. No one does it better than Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. |
| User ReviewEmma MI love sherlock holmes, and Rathbone is one of the better ones |
| User ReviewBrian R"This fortress - built by nature for herself; This blessed plot, this Earth, this realm, this England." Holmes locks horns with the fiendish Moriarty once more, determined that a revolutionary new bomb-sight shouldn't fall into the hands of the Nazis. A splendid film where everybody involved seems to be having a rollicking good time. There are japes aplenty. After Moriarty learns of Holmes's idea of killing him by draining him of his blood (exquisitely slowly, natch) Moriarty jests "The needle to the last, eh Holmes?" Holmes, possibly because he is still sporting the extraordinary hairstyle first seen in The Voice of Terror goes in disguise not once, not twice, but thrice. Dennis Hoey makes his first appearance as the lumbering but well-meaning Inspector Lestrade. Kaaren Verne (one of Peter Lorre's missuses) plays the pleasingly full-lipped Swiss Miss Eberli. And it all ends with Holmes's quote from King Richard II (see above). Stirring stuff! |
