Yes, 2 from Fox, 12 from Universal. Also, don't miss their hilarious cameo in the Olsen & Johnson comedy, "CRAZY HOUSE", where Rathbone says... "I'm Sherlock Holmes. I know EVERYTHING!" But don't forget the SHERLOCK HOLMES radio show, which Rathbone & Bruce did for years, during the entire time between the Fox films and all thru the Universals. And when Rathbone got sick of doing it, Bruce continued, opposite Tom Conway as Holmes! After Bruce passed away, Rathbone played Holmes twice on TV-- but sadly, both appearances are "LOST". He did however record 2 sets of "books on tape"in the 1960s, where he read original Conan Doyle stories! As the stories are narrated by Watson, this means Rathbone was actually playing Watson-- and in the 2nd set, where he did voices, he actually impersonated Nigel Bruce's Watson!

Thank you..

[@louisacosentino9543]

Wow!😱

[@johnb.8687]

Will Ferrell. Oh yeah that one really shitty movie

[@carolmanning8367]

Not exhaustive you say. Elementary...just watched house of terror, couldn't sleep & came across your post.😊

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

I'm a massive Rathbone/Bruce Holmes fan. This is my favorite of the 14. From Faces Death to this are the perfect ones. Plus Baskervilles and Dressed to Kill.

[@pariscribe5245]

Delightfull !

[@ElloMadamIamYourAdam]

The Pearl of Death is my favourite of the Rathbone/Bruce series, but this would be second. I love the ''And then there were none'' style premise of the story and the gloomy, atmospheric manor setting inhabited by sinister, suspicious characters. A quintessential whodunnit.

[@scoutiii8893]

I love this one. It becomes a full on spooky haunted house once that storm rolls in and the covert suspects begin wreaking havoc on poor Dr Watson!

[@markrickerbyadventurestories]

My best laugh was at 31:13 when Watson needs to administer first aid and says to the maid, “Fetch some cotton wool and hot water, quick as you can!” It took her an hour just to turn and walk away. That lady had one speed.

When you don’t like your employer but you’re too old to go anywhere else

[@patriciapiper6294]

Mark, exactly. That turn befuddled me. I wonder if she was in on the caper all along?

I like Dennis Hoey as Lestrade, good acting and funny 😅

[@mikekaup5252]

I eas weathered in by a ten day ice storm in 1976 in Sterling Alaska and spent my time reading all the works of Arthur Conan Doyle. It was a really great way to enjoy my time away from the world. No phones on my road and bo visitors. A great eay to enjoy my isolation. I am 75 as if 3/16/49 and still watch these great films. Young folks who dont enjoy old B&W films are really missing out. They seem much more deamatic than most color films.

[@euphrates556]

Hollywood, what have you done for me lately? Love the classics.

[@shughy1]

Hollywood got woke, went broke... Record numbers unfollowing

[@radiofiendify]

Got woke, went broke, all while trying to deepthroat the C.C.P.

[@suzannesellers7383]

House of Fear is my favorite because it’s the most humorous of the Holmes films.

[@francis-mariedechatillon987]

This is my favourite of the Rathbone and Bruce films, and these two are the best Sherlock and Watson.

[@penelopelopez8296]

One of my favorites.
