This was made no more than 25 years into the life of the film industry yet the technical use of light, shade was already beautifully established. The actors still behaved as though they were on stage which added huge occasion to each movie.These were filmed stageplays. Everything is focused and serious, made in an era before everything became trivialised, before post modern send-up, and the acting reflected this.

The lines that Holmes quotes at the end of the film are a condensed version of William Shakespeare's lines from "Richard II" [ 2.1, 40-51].

Some people criticize Nigel Bruce's performance as Dr. Watson, but Basil Rathbone said about the actor he was one of the best portrayals going. Watson became more of a character as the series went on, but there could not be a greater foil for brains, namely affectionate loyalty and underlying talents without near so much ego.

A bit of trivia; the bomb sight used in the bomber scene was actually an Omega C or D film enlarger; I have one in my darkroom. Great film, thank you.

Basil Rathbone, Yes I agree my good man. These were the days of wine an roses.

I must admit being thoroughly delighted when, at about 33 minutes in, it became clear the antagonist was Moriarty himself! Although, I think I may have watched this one once; I used to watch these regularly as a child. Every time a new actor takes on the role of Sherlock Holmes, he is inevitably compared to Basil Rathbone.

"This fortress, built by nature for herself. This blessed plot, this earth, this realm. This England." Nice working Shakespeare into the script, I have loved these movies since I was a boy, and now as an older man, I still do. Purists will say that the stories were not terribly true to the books. I consider myself a purist, and I just don't care. If I want the books, I'll read the books. No movie, no television show will ever capture every detail of the original stories, they are just really nice bits and pieces of stories I have read all my life.

I agree with you regarding Sherlock Holmes, however, I will read the books if I want to. In the case of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, I don’t want my movies to be ruined by the books. I like my Sherlocks to be eccentric and relatively unmarried by cocaine and depression. Rathbone and Ronald Howard. I like my Watsons to inject some comic relief-not being a buffoon but like an absent minded professor such as Nigel Bruce and H. Marion Crawford.

@@stevebrindle1724 I too have read 'most' but not all of the Connon Doyle Holmes stories. Doyle himself describes Watson as: "modest, intelligent, he is a patient observer but his capabilities are no match for Holmes" . This is how he is portrayed in these stories. Maybe his lack of capabilities are a little over played, but you have to remember that these films were made in 1938 and the interpretation of that is somewhat different to today. I think Jeremy Brett is excellent as Holmes but his interpretation of Holmes was due to him having manic depression /bi polarism, which is why he played him so dark. That was not Doyle's description of the character. It is simply another interpretation. Who is the best Holmes I suppose is a personal choice. For me, and many others, Basil Rathbone will always be enshrined as the immortal Holmes. Just our opinion of course.

A major difference between new and old movies is, new movies don't really have a lot of conversations. Most of them focus on irrelevant screen shots. A one and a half hour movie today has substantially less content than a one hour move in the old days.

This is the best Sherlock Holmes.

They would make a great movie or TV series also the Professor Challenger stories that inspired Jurassic Park.
