Movie Reviews

Turner Classic Movies Online - 8/10 by Sean AxmakerBasil Rathbone still remains the definitive screen Sherlock Holmes for many of the character's fans.
The New Republic - 6/10 by Otis FergusonIt is not the sort of thing to be considered as a Work of Art: my point is simply that it is an exciting story told with more real movie art per foot than seven reels of anything the intellectual men have been finding good this whole year or more.
User Review - 10/10 by Sherlock HA 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.
User Review - 10/10 by Brian RRathbone and Bruce hit top form in their second Holmes & Watson film, the last one they made that was set in the Victorian era. It looks amazing - fogbound London is vividly recreated in a 20th Century Fox studio. The cinematography is beautiful, with tones of German expressionism which combine with cleverly-deployed sound (enchanted flute music) to give much of the film a delicious dreamlike quality. And the cast are uniformly excellent - as aforementioned, Rathers and Bruce Boy really hit their straps, but the rest of the ensemble are just as good in their different ways, from the amazingly talented Ida Lupino as the damsel in distress, through George Zucco as Holmes's fiendish arch-nemesis Moriarty, to young shaver Terry Kilburn as Billy, the cockerney knives and boots boy who idolises Holmes. My favourite moments of the film are comical: where Watson helps Holmes out with a reconstruction of a crime by lying down in the road, much to the bemusement of a passer-by; and disarming: Holmes dons the disguise of a music hall artiste to keep an eye on his client whilst she's at a garden party and gives a rambunctious rendition of "I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside". I warmly reccommend this film to one and all. It's a pippin.
User Review - 10/10 by David HOne of the best Sherlock Holmes Movies ever made so entertaining, suspensful, stylish & ironic and with a great Soundtrack
User Review - 10/10 by blessing bMy favorite of the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films. I love that Professor Moriarty is in it and the story is one of the better ones. It has lots of suspense and interesting twists. Rathbone and Bruce have such great chemistry together in all of the movies which adds to the greatness! I love the disguises Holmes wears too, it may be just because of the black and white but you can hardly tell it's Holmes in the disguises most of the time!
User Review - 10/10 by Nate TThe second and final outing in the Fox period piece Holmes series is great as well. The series moved to Universal for the next entry, where it would stay for the remainder of the 14 films; 2 at Fox, 12 at Universal. Cast is in fine form and suspense builds well during the final two acts of the four act structured screenplay. The play that served as the basis for this film, and a stage production that Rathbone played Holmes in in 1952 - which his wife rewrote, was also the same one used for the recently discovered 1916 Sherlock Holmes film. On Blu-Ray.

User Review - 10/10 by Lowri BIts old and has really bad steriotypes of women but Basil Rathbone will always make it the best film i have ever seen.
User Review - 10/10 by Greg BI 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.
