Sherlock Holmes - A Study In Scarlet

Sherlock Holmes faces his most difficult challenge in "A Study In Scarlet." In his one and only appearance as Holmes, veteran actor Reginald Owen gives a thoughtful and intelligent performance as England's greatest sleuth. Members of "The Scarlet Ring" are being murdered and Scotland Yard is puzzled until Holmes steps in to investigate. His adventures lead him to the beautiful Mrs. Pyke and to the final confrontation that takes place in her late husband's stately ancestral home ? complete with screams in the foggy night, cloaked figures moving through secret passages, and a sinister Asian butler. A Study In Scarlet is the second film by Edwin L. Marin, who made his directorial debut with Bela Lugosi's Death Kiss. Marin would go on to direct Reginald Owen as Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol."

Sherlock Holmes - Murder At The Baskervilles

Professor Moriarty is determined to ruin the outcome of the Barchester Cup by stealing Silver Blaze and murdering the horse's trainer. Sherlock Holmes senses his old nemesis at work, and traces a twisting path of clues to find the animal and return him to the track. After learning that the horse has been recovered by his arch-enemy, Moriarty responds with a rage that could only be quelled with blood. A henchman is sent to dispose of the detective, and Watson is taken prisoner, before the rivalry between the two foes reaches a chilling climax at the Baskerville estate. Regarded as one of the most faithful adaptations of the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Murder at the Baskervilles develops the original story by drawing on the familiar characters of Professor Moriarty and Inspector Lestrade. Originally released in Britain as "Silver Blaze," it was Wontner's last appearance as Holmes before Basil Rathbone took over the role.

Sherlock Holmes and The Secret Weapon

A Swiss scientist invents a bomb sight that may very well decide the outcome of World War II and Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is chosen to protect the device and its inventor from falling into the hands of the Nazis. When the inventor is kidnapped, the trail leads to Holmes' old enemy, Professor Moriarty (Lionel Atwill), who plans to sell both the bomb sight and its inventor to Germany. Holmes and Dr. Watson must decipher a code left behind by the missing scientist that will lead them to the device before Moriarty. In this story of Second World War espionage and intrigue, writers Lowe, Darling and Hartmann, along with director Roy William Neill, deliver a Holmes who is as much a national asset in England's war against Germany as he is its greatest detective. Written to appeal to a wartime audience, the film turns the classic battle of wits between Holmes and Moriarty into one of patriotic good and evil in which the stakes are the freedom of the civilized world. Based On The Dancing Men By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
