This movie has the redoubtable Basil Rathbone consummately playing the legendary character he immortalised on the silver screen- Sherlock Holmes. Experience the excitement of viewing the famous duo of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in the last of the Sherlock Holmes series.

THE PLOT: A well handled script, backed by awe inspiring performance provides a fantastic showcase to see exactly how this crafty mastermind works his way through puzzling conspiracies. Here is a complete review of the film included in this incredible DVD!

In the last of the series, set in Dartmoor and London's antique auction rooms, giving viewers a glimpse of London in the 1940's, Holmes is pitted against a female adversary, played by Patricia Morison. A criminal, John Davidson, has stolen and hidden the plates for £5 notes from the Bank of England. Their hiding place is contained in a cipher located in three identical music boxes made at Dartmoor Prison and auctioned in London.

In the meanwhile, Stinky, or Gilbert Emery, visits Watson to tell him of a strange theft. Stinky collects music boxes and someone has stolen a cheap one, leaving the expensive boxes behind. When the innocent purchasers of the boxes are murdered, including Watson's old friend, Holmes and Watson investigate. Holmes is captured by the thieves and left in a vacant garage, hanging from a beam, his hands bound, while a poisonous gas fills the room. He emerges triumphant for his (Rathbone's) last bow on the screen.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Experience the thrill of suspense and murder through the workings of Sherlock Holmes' mind! Basil Rathbone stars in his fourteenth and final movie as Arthur Conan Doyle's super detective. An interesting plot, and mystery for Holmes and his faithful assistant Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce), to solve.

Basil Rathbone stars in his fourteenth and final movie as Arthur Conan Doyle's super detective. An interesting plot, and mystery for Holmes and his faithful assistant Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce), to solve.

Directed and produced by Roy William Neill, who was a recognized stylist among movie directors, Neill's work is characterized by meticulously lit scenes and carefully layered shadows, with restrained mobile camera movements. Neill was the final arbiter in all things Holmes-ian on the set of the Universal series. He produced all the movies in the Holmes series except Sherlock Holmes and The Secret Weapon.

Rathbone in particular had become Sherlock Holmes, with his piercing eyes, knife-sharpened features and finely played trademark habits (the violin, the relentless drive and enthusiasm, the never-ending desire for knowledge). During his film career, Rathbone was twice nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Supporting Actor and even won a Tony award. Rathbone would be forever linked to the great Sherlock.

Nigel Bruce's Watson is also the stuff movie legends are made of, and he plays the character as a perfect humorous foil to Rathbone's intense seriousness. As Watson, he was slightly less savvy than the character as written by Doyle but he "defined" Watson for many fans.

And even though Watson is absent-minded, and frequently silly, he is charming. The chemistry between Rathbone and Bruce is superb.

This DVD has all of the anticipation and exhilaration created by the mysteries solved by the famous detective Sherlock Holmes.
