Frances H A pretty good Sherlock case, if you can overlook some very terrible statements Abut women and the horribly fake spider itself. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/22 Full Review andy f More complex than usual classic Holmes and all the better for it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Action-packed instalment of the long running series with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. Holmes very nearly meets his match in Gayle Sondergaard's Spider Woman (potentially drawn from Conan Doyle's Irene Adler who was Holmes' great female adversary and possible love interest). She almost does him in on more than one occasion as he attempts to solve the mystery of the "pajama suicides" - men awakening in the middle of the night and killing themselves. Of course, Holmes suspects foul play - and he both fakes his own death and goes undercover as an Indian gambler to try to gather evidence about the crimes. In the end, the script draws liberally from several Conan Doyle's stories and also inserts Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito into the plot (as targets at a shooting gallery) as a tip of the hat to modern wartime audiences. Bruce is his usual bumbling self, Rathbone is cunning and playful, and Dennis Hoey is all bluster (though with a sentimental streak) as Inspector Lestrade. The plot has enough twists and moves swiftly. Indeed, all of the elements of the franchise are here and they make for rip-roaring fun. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Tan solo 64 minutos, para esta entretenida pelicula,Sherlock Holmes en nuevo caso esta vez contra la mujer araña. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Holmes goes on to unravel a murder case, which involves possible suicide, a deadly, poisonous woman, and a whole lot of money that seems to be the main motive behind all her actions. With a bunch of witty dialogues, many laughable scenes (Holmes pretending to be a distinguished Indian officer is a masterpiece), and a thrilling climax, The Spider Woman is a must-see for every fan of the series. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It's an open and shut case... with air-holes drilled into it--Entertaining Entry!!
