Movie Reviews

Examiner.com - 6/10 by Phil HallA fun entry in the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce series.
DVDJournal.com - 5/10 by Mark BourneThese production-line pulp yarns -- Hollywood's Bazooka Bubble Gum -- couldn't have given the terrific Rathbone any sense of challenge or growth as an actor. Nor do they ask much of the viewer, but they can be undemandingly entertaining period bric.
User Review - 10/10 by Sue AI have watched this film many times and it never grows old. It's pure genius. Rathbone and Bruce are fantastic. I love these Sherlock Holmes stories.

User Review - 10/10 by Rob TI have watched this film many times and it never grows old. It's pure genius. Rathbone and Bruce are fantastic. I love these Sherlock Holmes stories.
User Review - 10/10 by Martin AAnother wonderful film in the Basil Rathbone series, a wonderful film following murder and a stolen jewel. The originals are always the best, wonderful who done it set on a train.Classic.
User Review - 8/10 by Brian RNot the finest film ever made - not even one of the best in the Rathbone/Bruce series, but it is (ahem) splendidly mounted and commendably brief. It's a fast-paced beast of a film, all over in just an hour. I do like a film set on board a train (The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, even The Cassandra Crossing, dagnab it) and Terror by Night takes advantage of the inherent dramatic possibilities of travel by chuff-chuff. Holmes and Watson are hired to protect an old lady's bling on The Flying Scotsman supposedly - although it seems to metamorphose into a dozen different trains during the course of the journey, including The Orient Express if I'm not mistaken, thanks to the archive train footage used! There are two highlights for me: Watson coming a cropper while trying to question an academic duffer with very impressive side-whiskers, and the all-too-brief appearance of the unusual-visaged and terrifically named Skelton Knaggs as Sands, Colonel Sebastian Moran's creepily camp apprentice. He's a little ripper.
User Review - 8/10 by Ryan CGreat. I would have thought that 10 films in, Neill wouldn't really have anything else up his sleeve (especially since some of the later entries are particularly tired,) but this is a diamond in the rough. Set almost entirely on a train, the film has an odd hum, a rhythmic flow to it, with each scene punctuated by loud shots of the train hurtling through the night. The plot itself is solid, with the final gambit being a lot of fun. One complaint: Renee Godfrey's accent is one of the strangest things ever.
