To me there is only one Sherlock Holmes and that's Basil Rathbone. No one else even comes close. His mannerisms, his speech patterns, his demeanor, his attitude. All perfect.

[@basbas768]

What mannerisms? He has the same facial expression all the time. He doesn't show any emotions or feelings. They act as if they had a stick in the ass. Maybe only their lady housekeeper is more flexible.

[@kentvesser9484]

Yeah, film series like this, the Abbot and Costello films, the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby Road films, the Bowery Boys films, Ma and Pa Kettle movies, and others were a staple of local independent TV stations back in the 60's, 70's, and into the 80's prior to cable TV making it into a majority of households. Those independent local stations often showed a lot of movies late at night or even overnight when the network affiliates went off the air at some point in the wee hours, and they often showed old movies all afternoon on Saturday or Sunday. It was mostly movies old enough that network TV stations weren't interested in showing them anymore as they wouldn't generate good ratings except as maybe a late movie to show overnight if the affiliate didn't go off the air until morning. But for an independent channel the combination of low broadcast fees for a 20 year old or older movie, and being happy with much lower ratings as long as you made money, meant such old films were perfect to fill time along with syndicated game shows, and sitcom or drama reruns from a decade or two earlier.

Not surprising for Twitter they all think they are authorities on everything. Fact is she had quite an impressive resumé starring along side people like Bette Davis. She was the first recipient of the Academy Award for 'Best Supporting Actress' and had been nominated several times for movies like 'Anna and the King of Siam.

@@nichhodge8503 Depending on where it lives, like the Obongo river lol. Obviously just making stuff up. He even called it an insect. The Okavango might have tarantulas but lycosa (wolf spiders) are much smaller. People still believed in the whole tarantella myth back then.

I can't believe that I have never ever seen this Sherlock Holmes movie with Basile Rathbone I thought I had seen every single one there ever was and I can't believe I have not seen this! Thank you for having this on it is amazing but I still can't believe out of my 68 years that I have missed this movie

Love how distraught Lestraude was over Holmes’ “death”…

The only time Watson saw through Holmes disguise, only to have Holmes walk in the room.

seems like forever, as everyone knows the 2 week one month mask vaccine promises were lies, and it all seems to be a scam to use vaccines to kill or sterilize a large portion of the earth, and force digital ids to buy and sell, similar to bible end times prophecies, even in America, every free country is now essentially a communist country, with people the slaves and servants of the state and elite, instead of the other way around.
