15810 I love the old Sherlock Holmes films. I have them on old video tapes, I have some (when I've been able to find them) on DVD. But this downloaded version was of higher quality than DVDs that I PAID for! I hope more of these get preserved digitally by people who care about the quality of the work. No clicks, pops, or gaps in the film on this one. More of these PLEASE! macbeach 2004-07-02 19:35:07 2004-07-02 19:35:07 5 32217 Quite an intersting plot make this Sherlock Holmes movie interesting to watch. A worthy Antagonist to Sherlock leads to a duel of wits. While on the one hand the level of sophistication within the story is high, some crudeness in characters (mainly the Chaffeur is a posterboy for a cliche) let the movie a little down. 3 Stars for the actors, 5 Stars for the plot makes an even 4! Have fun ! Brian de Palma's Dressed to Kill is not a remake of this! kjpweb 2005-02-16 18:55:45 2005-02-16 18:54:06 4 34161 The stories aren't true to Doyle's works but are quite enjoyable nevertheless. Before there was Jermey Brett as the "perfect" Sherlock Homes there was Basil Rathbone, and he certainly rates up there with Brett, and Peter Cushing as one of the great "Homes" of all time. Worth watching. Good old flick nightwatchdog 2005-03-07 18:43:46 2005-03-07 18:43:46 4 This is not a good movie in substitution for reading Sir Conan Doyle's work, but it is a good movie nonetheless. As a mystery lover, I enjoyed it immensely. Good Movie 5 sherlockmcbride 2005-05-12 17:44:43 2005-05-12 17:44:43 NIce Dressed to kile 5 Seqao 2005-07-23 14:13:05 2005-07-23 14:13:05 As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I can assure u this is a typical (Doyle-Watson) style, nearing the likes of Musgrave Rituals,so.... delightful to watch and fitting Climax. Typical Sherlockian!!! 5 Dominator 2005-12-18 14:35:31 2005-12-18 14:35:31 Now I know what everyone raves about! Growing up I had heard of these flicks and Basil of course but had never seen one until tonight. What a treat! Must see more. This is great entertainment! My first Holmes Flick 4 Danial 2006-08-29 04:21:29 2006-08-29 04:21:29 The quality of the stream is excellent. The villain is in the back seat of the car, and she pulls out her compact..."Of course, he's having us followed...don't look." Great.

If you're a fan of the old time radio show sponsored by Petri Wine, then you'll definitely enjoy these films. Even though Bruce's Dr. Watson is far more of a mumbling bumbler than in Doyle's stories, to many, he's the archetypal Watson. Rathbone seems born to play Sherlock. I encoded this to a Video CD since I don't have a DVD burner, and the quality is quite watchable on my 20 inch TV and budget DVD player. Typical Sherlock Holmes Rathbone-Bruce fare 5 LeGrande 2007-01-08 23:02:53 2007-01-08 23:02:53 A good, clever mystery with a razor wit. Witty, clever. 4 Yodelling Llama 2007-01-11 00:45:26 2007-01-11 00:45:26 I was introduced to the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes series when I was about nine or ten. I had a terrible flu that year that dragged on and on, and to console me, my father brought the entire series home from the video rental place for me to watch. Even though I didn't understand many of the subtleties, I adored them. I'm so happy to discover that these movies are just as good as I remember. Delightful! Kitten in the Rain 2007-03-08 09:40:39 2007-03-08 09:40:39 4 This film, eventhough it is enjoyable to watch:is the last film Mr. Rathbone for Universal Pictures as Holmes. I felt at this time "the Holmes character is strankling my creative force as an actor." A shame to see but we are glad he did what he did to Mr. Holmes to life for so many to enjoy. Please get as many as you can IA of these gems of Holmesania. the swan song for Basil Rathbone specs 2007-03-08 20:36:14 2007-03-08 20:36:14 4 Good story,and very nice to watch.Most of the time I was afraid someone would walk through the cardboard walls. Stiff upperlip TrapperJohn 2007-09-21 19:23:50 2007-09-21 19:23:50 3 I first saw the Holmes series with Basil Rathsbone and Nigel Bruce and liked it so much I bought the collection. I've seen them all many times and still enjoy watching them. Way Cool Nukak 2007-09-22 21:24:49 2007-09-22 21:24:49 5 I too am a big fan of the Basil Rathbone movies about Sherlock Holmes. This one is great too. Although the sound and image are quite clear, this particular print is so unstable that it distracts me from a great story. Maybe there's some kind of video software out there that could help? Good flick GVMBEAR 2008-07-25 03:43:19 2008-07-25 03:43:19 3 Its a fact of life that one day I will be dead so will you. There is no thing can do to stop this. However we can make the most of our time on this earth. Doing something useful with our time here can help other and it also give us a sense of purpose and our life some meaning. You only live one, this is a not rehearsal. Life is like a big performance and one the curtain has come down on it there will be no encore. So we should live like him (always help other) and our life some meaning. Thanks Holmes! Live like him! nguyenlinhkt49 2009-05-17 13:22:34 2009-05-17 13:22:34 3 An interesting plot. Several suspense moments. I easily give it five starts. Nice.
