I used to attend Saturday morning pictures in the late fifties early sixties and always adored these stories now I'm 70 I still love them thanks very much

This has been in my opinion, the best Sherlock Holmes movie. Yes, topping “Hound of the Baskervilles”. Thank goodness these films are still available.

Sofas Bruce and Hoey.

These movies were my introduction to Sherlock Holmes. Good memories.

Nigel Bruce is the unsung hero; his acting, as Watson's presumed bumbling foil to Sherlock's ingenious abilities, is the perfect counterpoint for assumption vs deduction. Well-written adaptation of original texts, without overplaying the characters for additional box office sensationalism :)

As a kid, the aspect of grand old English houses with private libraries chock-a-block in leather bound tomes - Heaven :) I'd imagine myself running fingers over the dusty spines of books not read for decades, discovering forgotten treasures despite the usual dramatic "Don't go into the Library!", picking one or two for reading by candle without being caught...such fuel for the imagination :)

Basil and Nigel back at it again , awesome !

Love the ending - perfect Holmes and Watson interaction :) starts when Watson starts explaining exactly what happened. Holmes’ little smile shows how he feels about his very good friend 🙃🌷🌱

Corny, ridiculous storylines, nothing to do with Conan Doyle's writings and rather dubious acting, and absolutely brilliant. I can remember watching this series of movies as a child a very long time ago and was enthralled and I still have a great affection for them. So they're not faithful to the true characters and never were intended to be, Watson is made out a buffoon etc but it doesn't matter they are fun, entertaining and very charming.

I love these old Sherlock Holmes movies.

Mrs Monteith looks like the inspiration for Mel Brooks' character Frau Blucher from Young Frankenstein

No matter. All of the Holmes Classic cannon is worth watching... serious or campy! The acting is brilliant and the stories, true to ACD or not are quite riveting.

Thank you for posting this rare Sherlock Holmes movie. It's hardly ever played or streamed on other channels. It's one of my favorites, and I remember watching it back in the '60s on WGN in Chicago. It amused me so much that the word pip became one of my favorite words through my life as it has a plethora of meanings besides being a small fruit seed. According to Webster's Dictionary it has definitions of both several nouns and verbs. Great mystery and ingenious, tiny, three letter word.

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce were the perfect Holmes and Watson.. I still got the dvd box set i bought several years ago. The house of fear was one of my favorites

Basil rathbone is 1 of the greatest Sherlock Holmes that ever was and so is doctor Watson he's also very good doctor Watson Jeremy Brett on the other hand he's probably the best

The screen writer(s) were obviously partying... on something! Very fun! RATHBONE AND BRUCE ARE, WERE, GREAT TOGETHER!

Everything is ok. Inspector Lestrade has arrived!!!

My god I love these two! Both perfect for their parts. And I agree watching in a snowstorm or bad weather with warm blanket and hot chocolate. Just wonderful.

Great film . Just sit back and enjoy

Great fun to watch these old classic films again. Refreshing to see these old tales done before the industry was taken over by those with a social engineering agenda.

Old Razzle Bathbone was, in my opinion, the second best Sherlock Holmes after Tom Baker, and this flick was probably one of his best, if not his best.

I do like this older Sherlock. But I really like Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwick, as Dr Watson. In the 80's and 90s

Thank you. Love Sherlock Holmes

One of the better Universal SH films.

Holmes : “Murder’s an insidious thing, Watson; once a man has dipped his fingers in blood, sooner or later, he’ll get the urge to kill again”… Watson : “Oh goodness me….Rather unpleasant….” ….The understatements just kill me 😂

thanks for these, this and a few others are never shown anywhere, while others are shown often. even though i have seen this one, it's been only once and forever ago

Jolly good fun.

They gave these movies such wonderfully lurid titles. Yet nothing particularly scary ever actually happened. Although they did keep a Hollywood colony of British character actors in a job for a few years. Moriarty got killed off about four times but was alive and scheming again in the next movie. Or one of his evil henchmen stood in for him. Colonel this or Major that.

I love these stories!

Reminds me of the Wild, Wild West episode 'The Night of the Tottering Tontine'.

Thanks for posting! Basil Rathbone is always fun to watch, and an entertaining movie. Enough intrigue to keep one's interest, and no gratuitous blood and gore. Although, Edgar Allen Poe's stories are far and away better detective stories; like, Murders at the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter, etc. Far superior to deduction.

In WW1 Basil Rathbone served in the Scottish Rifles, a London territorial regiment . Several other actors who later also found fame and success in Hollywood served in the same regiment were Ronald Colman, Claude Rains, Cedric Hardwick and Herbert Marshall.

i like alister. he is so laid back and makes me feel peaceful. i would love to have him as a roommate, ... unless he turns out to be a greedy killer!

Spoiler: For a brief second I suspected Aleister, when he first said he had no nerves. By the end I was scared he’d be killed. Great episode!!

"House of Fear" had to be substantially reworked before Madness were happy enough to release it as a single.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
