Tim D Sep 18 I love all these Basil Rathbone / Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies and this is certainly no exception. The character portrayals of both Sherlock and Dr Watson are a total joy. In this particular film Patricia Morison provides a beautiful, intelligent and charming villian. Her henchman brutish and threatening. Her outsmarting of the affably befuddled Watson is on mark. Holmes' benevolent acceptance of Watson's failure is great. I love the plotline of the story as well. While this is not the best of the Rathbone/Bruce collaboration it is still one to be treasured. I enjoy it and re-enjoy it often! See more nick s @Nick_S 10/30/2023 Great movie, with magnetic acting, competent camera work, and clever ideas woven into the plot. The core concept was a little absurd, but ignore that. This is my favourite basil rathbone flick. It couldn't be done much better. Pity about stinky.

The cast is good and it's a middle of the road Sherlock Holmes adaption, great use of sound. See more 07/30/2017 Named "Dressed to kill" because one character very briefly dresses in disguise. The only memorable part is that Watson's friend and eventual murder victim's nickname was "Stinky" which is hilarious. See more 12/02/2015 The very last of the great run of Sherlock Holmes films with THE Holmes, Basil Rathbone (well at least until Jeremy Brett came along in the 1980s). Bruce is amiable enough, but a bit too much of a bumbling clown to be my Watson. A pretty good story, with numerous winks to Doyle's original stories, though having Holmes fall into the trap at the end was a bit out of character... OK, I can see it being needed for the narrative arc of the whole film, but still, come on, it's Sherlock Holmes! See more Read all reviews
