"The Scarlet Claw" is a classic film. Next to "The Hound of the Baskervilles" this is the best of the Rathbone-Bruce series. The direction of Roy William Neill has never been better. The supporting cast consisting of Paul Cavanagh, Arthur Hohl, Miles Mander, & especially Gerald Hammer are outstanding.

@ joseph lemko. Granted it is a matter of opinion, but of the two 20th Century Fox Rathbone/Bruce Holmes films, I think that "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is better than "The Hound of the Baskervilles", because it has George Zucco who was in my opinion, for what it's worth, the best Professor Moriarity. And Ida Lupino was excellent as Anne in that film. I have always been amazed that Rathbone considered Henry Daniell as the best Moriarity. Henry Daniell to my mind was pretty boring as Moriarity. It is hard to find a better Holmes-Moriarity confrontation scene in a Sherlock Holmes film than the one in the hansom cab between and Zucco's Moriarity and Rathbone's Holmes at the beginning of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" when after Moriarity has been acquited in court, he offers Holmes a ride to Hommes' Baker Street lodgings because it is raining. "The Scarlet Claw" is without question the best of the 12 Universal Studios' Holmes films.

@ joseph lemko. If I had to rank the top 6 of the 14 Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes films, it would be: (1) "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" , (2) "The Scarlet Claw", (3) "Sherlock Holmes Faces Death", (4) "House of Fear", (5)"Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror" and (6) "The Hound of the Baskervilles". The only reason that I don't place "The Hound of the Baskervilles" higher on the list is because Holmes is not seen in a substantial portion of the film , just like he is not in a substantial portion of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel.

@ Steve Setek. Yes Paul Sawtell did an excellent job as musical director for the Sherlock Holmes film, "The Scarlet Claw". Although a number of the pieces of music in that film were originally composed by Hans J. Salter and Frank B. Skinner for "The Wolfman"(1941) and other Universal Studios' horror films of the 1940's (e.g., the eerie music that is heard as Holmes walks down the hallway on the 2nd floor of the De La Porte Hotel to confront Alistair Ramson after Ramson killed Judge Brisson in the previous scene in the film). Paul Sawtell wrote the great, iconic theme music for the 1966 TV series, "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea". It is interesting that actor Miles Mander's voice as Judge Brisson sounds very much like actor Frederic Worlock's voice as Colonel Cavanaugh in the 12th and last Universal Studios' Rathbone/Bruce Holmes film, "Dressed To Kill"(1946).

I'm a massive fan of the source material and anything to do with Sherlock. This is not my favorite interpretation of Watson by any means,but man he cracks me up sometimes. The stuff he says about his father under his breath in the inn makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it. He goes from saying he hasn't seen his father in years,to saying matter of fact,he's dead lol. There's actually quite a few instances in these films like that. I always kinda wish they didn't make a doctor and soldier so stupid and silly,but his loyalty and other qualities is enough to counteract it most times. I don't think I've seen all the movies in this "series". You can usually only find the same five or six online. I always meant to look for some kind of box set or something,but time and money are always factors in this world,ha.

The scene between Holmes and Moriarty in the hansom cab outside the courthouse at the beginning of the film is one of the greatest Holmes/Moriarty scenes in all of the various Holmes films! I love when Holmes says to Moriarty that he admires Moriarty's brain so much that he would love to have it pickled in alcohol and donated to the British Museum! And Ida Lupino was excellent as Anne Branding in that film! I have not seen any of the post-Dalton Bond films and I have no interest in seeing any of them because since Brosnan and Craig don't look like what James Bond is supposed to look like, the Bond films in which they appear in hold no interest for me.

"The Scarlet Claw" is a superb Sherlock Holmes movie but it does have one major flaw--in the scene in which Alistair Ramson tells Holmes why Ramson killed Lady Penrose and Judge Brisson, he tells Holmes that one other person who Ramson held a grudge against remained (which is Emile Journet) but you would think that there would have been a fourth person that Ramson despised and held a grudge against and that would have been Lord Penrose because in the scene in which Holmes discovers the torn upper half of the photograph of Lady Penrose which Ramson sent to Lady Penrose as a warning, Lord Penrose tells Holmes that Ramson murdered an actor in Lady Penrose's acting company five years earlier in Quebec. It is obvious that Ramson killed that actor because that actor was in an intimate relationship with Lillian Gentry (before she retired from acting and became Lady Penrose when she married Lord Penrose). Ramson told Holmes that he killed Lady Penrose because he "couldn't bear any other man possessing her" and yet he apparently never made any attempt on the life of Lord Penrose after Lord Penrose married Lillian Gentry. So why didn't Ramson hold a grudge against Lord Penrose? And why did Holmes say to Watson regarding Alistair Ramson in Alistair Ramson's secret dressing room at the De La Porte Hotel that "Obviously Journet is to be his next victim", when it could conceivably have been either Lord Penrose or Emile Journet that was Alistair Ramson's next intended victim? In "The Scarlet Claw", Holmes never seems to consider the possibility that Ramson would hold a grudge against or make an attempt on the life of Lord Penrose for his marrying Lillian Gentry!

I was somewhat taken aback that Holmes didn't even nick ransom when he was shooting at him. He wasn't firing willy nilly.

@ Andrew Frankovic. Yeah it is amazing in "The Scarlet Claw" that Holmes could completely miss a large, glowing-in-the-dark target (albeit a moving target) in that movie! Another absurdity is that Alistair Ramson's phosphorescent-coated shirt was able to maintain it's bright glow not only at nighttime on the marshes in La Mour Rouge, but also in a room at the De La Porte Hotel illuminated by candlelight! Even if Ramson had the electric light in his room turned on just prior to Holmes, Watson and Sgt.Thompson's arrival at the De La Porte Hotel to question Ramson (disguised as Tanner), that single light would be insufficiently bright to keep the shirt glowing brightly after Holmes blows out the candle on the table! It would need at least 10-20 minutes exposure to full sunlight in order to glow that brightly on the marshes or in Ramson's room!

wow good sleuthing! I noticed the fact that Sherlock failed to shoot Ramson, and that Watson shows the Sgt. to their room in the end even if he already tried to wake Sherlock whom used the "pillow under the covers" trick. What I didn't acknowledge was that Ramson should also have gone after Lord Penrose if he truly couldn't bare another man possessing Lady Penrose. I again congratulate you.

@@SBaker83 . Thanks for the compliment about my observations about some flaws in the great Rathbone/Bruce Universal Studios' Sherlock Holmes film, "The Scarlet Claw". I must point out that it was actually the character Emile Journet who attempted to wake-up Sherlock Holmes and discovered that Holmes had placed a suitcase under the blanket to make someone checking on him erroneously think that Holmes was asleep in bed. At 27 minutes,34 seconds into the film, you can see that it is Emile Journet not Sgt. Thompson that tries to wake-up Sherlock Holmes.

Lots of complaints in the comments about Watson's inadequacies. A tired theme in old movies. Someone should do a thesis, "Obligatory Ineptitude in Cinematic Investigative Partnerships." Watson, in need of a roommate, teamed with Holmes in 1881 and was not a dottering old fool. Love the films for many reasons; especially the antiquities, sets, architecture, furnishings, etc. Rathbone was 3 yrs older than Bruce.

There is a small flaw in the movie, "The Scarlet Claw" in the scene in which after Sherlock Holmes finds the upper half of the torn photograph of Lillian Gentry/Lady Penrose, Holmes tells Lord Penrose that Alistair Ramson may have been disguised as Lord Penrose's butler Drake. That is an absurd claim by Holmes because in an earlier scene in the movie, Holmes and Watson talk to Drake when Holmes and Watson are examining the body of Lillian Gentry/Lady Penrose at Lord Penrose's house and they could clearly see that Drake was not wearing a disguise or makeup. In addition, if Alistair Ramson was disguised as Drake the butler, then why didn't Ramson hold a grudge against or make an attempt to bump off Lord Penrose since Ramson later in the movie tells Holmes that he (Ramson) "couldn't bear any other man possessing her (Lillian Gentry/Lady Penrose)" as the explanation for why Ramson killed Lady Penrose? According to Lord Penrose, Ramson killed an actor in Lillian Gentry's acting company 5 years earlier and escaped from Talon Prison 2 years after he was sentenced to prison. Obviously Ramson killed that actor in Lillian Gentry's acting company because that actor was in an intimate relationship with Lillian Gentry. If Ramson became employed as Lord Penrose's butler Drake after escaping from prison 3 years earlier, why didn't Ramson hold a grudge against or attempt to bump off Lord Penrose since Ramson didn't want any other man to "possess" her?

@Van Messner . Interestingly, in the confrontation scene between Holmes and Ramson in the De La Porte Hotel, Ramson tells Holmes that there were three people in Ramson's life that he despised and that two were already dead and one remained. Obviously the two he refered to were Lady Penrose and Judge Brisson. And, of course, Holmes deduced that the third remaining person was Journet who was a guard at Talon Prison where Ramson was briefly incarcerated before escaping. But the actor in Lillian Gentry's acting company (who was obviously in a relationship with Lillian Gentry) that Ramson killed would have been a fourth person that Ramson despised. So the screenplay writer for "The Scarlet Claw" should have had Ramson say to Holmes in that scene in the movie that there were 5 people in Ramson's life that he held a grudge against not three and that three of them were already dead ( the actor in Lillian Gentry's acting company, Lady Penrose and Judge Brisson) and that two of them remained - Journet the innkeeper being the fourth person and Lord Penrose being the fifth person because Lord Penrose married Lillian Gentry!

An interesting continuity error in the screenplay of "The Scarlet Claw" is that which occurs between the scene in the film in which Holmes shows the torn lower half of the photograph of Lady Penrose that Holmes found in Alistair Ramson's room at the De Laporte Hotel to Watson and Sgt.Thompson in Holmes and Watson's room at Emile Journet's Cafe & Hotel and the scene at the end of the movie, in which Watson , after announcing to the patrons of Journet's Cafe that he and Holmes are leaving immediately for London, tells Sgt. Thompson that Holmes wants to speak with him for a minute in Holmes' room, and then points out to Sgt. Thompson Holmes' room on the 2nd floor of the cafe by stating that it is the second room on the right at the top of the stairs. Sgt. Thompson already knew where Holmes and Watson's room was from when he was there earlier in the scene in which Holmes showed him and Watson the lower half of the photograph of Lady Penrose. So why does Watson tell Sgt. Thompson where Watson and Holmes' room is at the end of the movie when Thompson already knew where it is?

@@randb4865 . The point that I was making is that Watson did not need to point to Holmes and Watson's room on the second floor of Journet's Cafe and tell Sgt.Thompson that the room is the second one on the right side, since Thompson already knew where it was from the earlier scene in "The Scarlet Claw". In other words, Watson's pointing out the room to Sgt.Thompson does not in any way enhance Holmes and Watson's deceiving Alistair Ramson into believing that Holmes and Watson are leaving immediately for London or that Holmes is on the second floor and doesn't help Holmes to switch places with Journet once Journet is outside the cafe. It is totally unnecessary for Watson to point out to Sgt.Thompson where on the second floor Holmes and Watson's room is. All Watson has to do is tell Sgt.Thompson that Holmes would like to see him in Holmes' room. That would have been sufficient to deceive Alistair Ramson into thinking that Holmes is on the second floor awaiting to talk to Sgt.Thompson when in reality Holmes is outside the cafe switching places with Emile Journet.

Thompson their room so as to not let the killer know that Sgt. Thompson had already met with Holmes and Watson in their room earlier in the movie, that knowledge would not tip off Alistair Ramson that Holmes was planning to switch places with cafe/hotel owner Emile Journet after Journet leaves the cafe to supposedly go to the church to offer a prayer for his murdered daughter Marie who Alistair Ramson had killed.
