We've exposed their worst crimes. It doesn't do any good in a country where the world's biggest criminals hold the keys to the courts and prisons and control who gets any access to all major news media. As much as I love Holmes, this is a job for Zatoichi.

[@richardfedorchik7932]

Classic movie. To me Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce will always be the definitive Holmes and Watson. All others pale in comparison. Mind blowing to realize that the war was still going on when this movie was made.

👍👍👍

[@glennschlegel7160]

Same here for the two of them. That's what people need to realize 💯 in these films 🎥 with a war raging Bruce was given the role of comedian to lighten the storyline.

I love both Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathbone. The 30 minute episodes with Ronald Howard as Holmes and H. Marion Crawford as Watson are very, very good too. Rarely have I seen a series spin off so good from the such a special duo like Mr. Bruce and Mr. Rathbone. Simply a very, very great pleasure to watch them both. Thank you to all who post these awesome episodes.

It’s a trigger for smokers to light up. I’m a former smoker. I still get the itch when they light up, but the thought of the smell and the taste is revolting. I think they might have been sponsored to smoke. That industry is insidious.

I like RDJ & Jude Law, but I also like Johnny Lee Miller & Lucy Liu. Nigel Bruce comes off as too bumbling for Dr. Watson.

[@jenniferannecchini5216]

Excellent episode 😊

[@tesstickles1280]

The dubbed German version released in 1959 removed all Nazi references from the dialogue. The story of this edited version is about gangsters trying to get hold of a secret medicine formula that could be dangerous if in the wrong hands.

Thankfully, they got rid of that awful hairstyle on Sherlock Holmes in the later SH films. For a second there, Holmes looked like David Letterman or Art Garfunkel with that bad combover.

[@anthonylee6322]

Loved them using actual footage of air port now know as Reagan and the sights in and around d.c.

[@SuziQ.]

It was filmed at the old Glendale (CA.) airport, on Grandview. That location later became the location of MAPO (for Mary Poppins), part of Disney’s design building division. It’s adjacent to WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering). Addit: the airport scene was filmed at the old Glendale Air Terminal. Everything else was filmed at Universal, in Studio City, according to the IMDB page for this film. The rest I know from being a Disney brat (second generation Disney employee).

[@rayceeya8659]

You don't tell anyone about the decoy. That's counter intelligence 101. You don't even acknowledge their existence. The whole point of a decoy is to label themselves as the target. Your operatives don't even know there IS a decoy. Again CO 101. Still love these old movies though.
