Kalissa H @kali_416 May 1 My favorite of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films I’ve seen. Great casting of Sherlock and Watson. More of a Watson-forward edition. Quite an interesting movie. Poor dog though. On Tubi the quality was good which isn’t always the case with older Sherlock Holmes movies. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 07/06/2023 Given the restraints of 1930s technology and an obviously limited budget they still managed to put together a decent film. And of course, Rathbone is terrific. See more Chris M 04/19/2023 Basil Rathbone was always of the best actors to play the legendary character. But for some reason this franchise decided to dumb down Dr. Watson and the series degenerates to every entry being Holmes vs. Moriarty. But thankfully this being one of the first ones, it's not that predictable. This is a very good version of the book. But I wish they had the technology to give the Hound more scary appearance like later versions do. Not the best version but a damn great version. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic 03/13/2023 A nice slow paced classic original Sherlock Holmes film. See more Frances H 02/19/2022 The best version until the Jeremy Brett/Edward Hardwick one came along. Even with its flaws, the great cast made it work. I found it amusing that one critic on this page said it was "family friendly," when it ended with Sherlock saying, "Watson, the needle." Of course this was a direct reference to Sherlock's cocaine habit, which somehow escaped the censor, and shocked me the first time I heard it. See more 12/18/2020 Easily the best of the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce "Sherlock Homes" films, this is also the one that sticks closest to the original Arthur Conan Doyle novel. Rathbone is excellent as Holmes in his first outing as the master sleuth and Nigel Bruce is at his least annoying (he became insuffrable as films went on). The film manages to capture the spooky atmosphere of the moors pretty well. See more Read all reviews
