Rathbone has one of the best acting voices in cinema history

[@tobyrose4854]

Pity his co Actor's unable to do him justice. ..

[@Kas8588]

Rathbone And Bruce Are By Far The Best Sherlock And Dr. Watson. Been Watching These Old B/W Films Since The 50-60 Never Get Tired Of Them.

[@lulubelle24]

Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock.

[@jamessharpe6699]

I would suggest you watch the Jeremy Brett series and you will come back and change this comment no one beats Sherlock Holmes over Jeremy Brett

[@joeymontanez3249]

I've liked nearly every version ever made. One of my favorites is the one in the videogames. They seem to get the most out of the persona from the books correct. But as others have said, Jeremy Brett is incredible. He's easily one of the best also. Basil Rathbone is just the most classic one that most people would picture in their head. Even the newest Sherlock series is great in its own way. They have all taken different aspects of the character and ran with them. Some are colder, some take the drug use a bit further, some are more eccentric. The worst two in my book would be from the Robert Downey Jr ones, for starters, but even those aren't horrible. The absolute worst is the one comedy movie that I can't recall the name of, I wanted to forget it so badly. I think it has that guy from Anchorman. My brain isn't working good today. But I'd put the characters from Enola Holmes above them even. I love Nigel Bruce as Watson, but I wish they'd have made him not quite so silly. He's a soldier and doctor which can easily be forgotten by his demeanor. He's super loyal and loveable though so I let it slide haha.

[@gatorduran3288]

I love Sherlock Holmes and so did my mom! Basil Rathbone was superb!

These movies were my introduction to Sherlock Holmes. Good memories.

I used to attend Saturday morning pictures in the late fifties early sixties and always adored these stories now I'm 70 I still love them thanks very much

[@debsb2017]

The bit with the owl cracks me up every time

[@5bags]

#3 The House of Fear #2 Terror By Night #1 The Scarlet Claw I love them all so much though

[@joeymontanez3249]

Those are probably my favorites too, but I don't think I could put them in order. I'd probably put those and Pursuit to Algiers and The Pearl of Death in my top 5 though. The Woman in Green right behind those. Wasn't the biggest fan of The Voice of Terror or The Hound of the Baskervilles, but I'm right with you, I love them all.

[@user-lk9sb1ld1p]

It’s nice that it is able to stay alive in your memory and you can play and watch them over and over .

[@feralbluee]

Love the ending - perfect Holmes and Watson interaction :) starts when Watson starts explaining exactly what happened. Holmes’ little smile shows how he feels about his very good friend 🙃🌷🌱

[@hobbs1]

I've got the box set of DVD's digitally remastered. Wonderful! Have loved these since my teens. This is one of my favourites 🎻🎩🔎😊.

[@lisagerman2111]

Nigel Bruce is the unsung hero; his acting, as Watson's presumed bumbling foil to Sherlock's ingenious abilities, is the perfect counterpoint for assumption vs deduction. Well-written adaptation of original texts, without overplaying the characters for additional box office sensationalism :)

[@lisagerman2111]

As a kid, the aspect of grand old English houses with private libraries chock-a-block in leather bound tomes - Heaven :) I'd imagine myself running fingers over the dusty spines of books not read for decades, discovering forgotten treasures despite the usual dramatic "Don't go into the Library!", picking one or two for reading by candle without being caught...such fuel for the imagination :)

[@richardfrost416]

Agreed 👍

[@elessartelcontar9415]

He was great in The Adventures of Robin Hood 🏹 🎯with Errol Flynn too

[@betsya7054]

Sometimes he is as annoying as hell, though 😂

[@GuitarandMusicInstitute]

Undoubtedly, the character, Watson, as displayed here, is an utter moron.

[@glennschlegel7160]

Its been raining 🌧 here for the last day or two. A perfect film to pass the time. Rathbone and Bruce play off each other perfectly. Lestrade is always an unsung character in these films 🎥. Universal was the studio in the 40s so many classic films 🎞

[@peterhoulis1184]

Basil and Nigel back at it again , awesome !

[@lescobrandon3047]

This has been in my opinion, the best Sherlock Holmes movie. Yes, topping “Hound of the Baskervilles”. Thank goodness these films are still available.

[@DavidBarkley-sh6ky]

Wow Hound of the Baskervilles one of my all-time favorite as well

[@sparkswain2820]

This one's my favorite, too. I love them all but the characters and dialogue in House of Fear is the best. Alastair is hilarious!

He is a prime example of when the antihero was not an obnoxious asshole. He is just a good detective that is inferior to Holmes, but still a stand-up guy.

[@chergui77]

Thank you for posting this rare Sherlock Holmes movie. It's hardly ever played or streamed on other channels. It's one of my favorites, and I remember watching it back in the '60s on WGN in Chicago. It amused me so much that the word pip became one of my favorite words through my life as it has a plethora of meanings besides being a small fruit seed. According to Webster's Dictionary it has definitions of both several nouns and verbs. Great mystery and ingenious, tiny, three letter word.

I wonder if this is one of the reasons that Dickens named his character "Pip" in Great Expectations; a metaphor for what Pip represents as a character.

[@chergui77]

@@andreasmith9261 OMGoodness!!! What a great observation!!! How could I be so dense after all these decades? And to think, I'm a Brit Lit fan, too...bad me. For my penance, I looked up definitions for the word pip: NOUNS: 1. any of the spots on playing cards, dice, or dominoes; 2. a single blossom of a clustered head of flowers; 3. a diamond-shaped segment of the surface of a pineapple; 4. an image of an object on a radar screen; 5. a star (1-3 according to rank) on the shoulder of an army officer's uniform (I think British officer); 6. a short high-pitched sound used especially to indicate the time on the radio or to instruct a caller using a public phone to insert more money; 7. a disease of poultry or other birds causing thick mucus in the throat and white scales on the tongue. VERBS: 8. when a baby bird cracks the egg when hatching out; 9. to defeat by a small margin or at the last moment; and, 10. to hit or wound someone with a gunshot. Whew!!!

"House of Fear" had to be substantially reworked before Madness were happy enough to release it as a single.

[@Makeyourselfbig]

They gave these movies such wonderfully lurid titles. Yet nothing particularly scary ever actually happened. Although they did keep a Hollywood colony of British character actors in a job for a few years. Moriarty got killed off about four times but was alive and scheming again in the next movie. Or one of his evil henchmen stood in for him. Colonel this or Major that.

Corny, ridiculous storylines, nothing to do with Conan Doyle's writings and rather dubious acting, and absolutely brilliant. I can remember watching this series of movies as a child a very long time ago and was enthralled and I still have a great affection for them. So they're not faithful to the true characters and never were intended to be, Watson is made out a buffoon etc but it doesn't matter they are fun, entertaining and very charming.

Thanks for posting! Basil Rathbone is always fun to watch, and an entertaining movie. Enough intrigue to keep one's interest, and no gratuitous blood and gore. Although, Edgar Allen Poe's stories are far and away better detective stories; like, Murders at the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter, etc. Far superior to deduction.

In WW1 Basil Rathbone served in the Scottish Rifles, a London territorial regiment . Several other actors who later also found fame and success in Hollywood served in the same regiment were Ronald Colman, Claude Rains, Cedric Hardwick and Herbert Marshall.
