4.0 out of 5 stars This and not That, May 19, 2010

This review is from: The Classic Sherlock Holmes Collection (DVD)

I have not seen this collection yet but I thought some clarification could be in order. This set is an expansion of a previous set released by the same company, Sherlock Holmes Collection, with three additional films included. You'll get 9 films here as opposed to 6 in the other, for about the same price.

No, this is not a complete collection of every Sherlock Holmes film, but it is a nice package of films that have entered into the Public Domain.

The films included on this are:

With BASIL RATHBONE, who played the role in 14 films for Universal Studios:
The Woman in Green (1945)
Terror by Night (1946)
Dressed to Kill (1946)
Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1943)

With ARTHUR WONTNER, who played the role in 5 films, the second of which is lost:
The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes (1935)
Murder at the Baskervilles (1937) aka The Silver Blaze
The Sign of Four (1932)

With RAYMOND MASSEY, his only appearance as Holmes:
The Speckled Band (1931)

With REGINALD OWEN, his only appearance as Holmes, but had played Watson in an earlier film:
A Study in Scarlet (1933)

For the price it's a pretty nifty collection and shows what a variety of different actors have done with the role.

1/2 Basil Rathbone and 1/2 why it should have been Basil Rathbone; all very interesting and entertaining. I reccomend this for the fan and anyone who loves old movies; not a bad one in the batch. This is a keeper.

I love the Basil Rathbone - Nigel Bruce duo, the classic Holmes.
Thus far the movie looks like a copy of a copy of a copy. One of those companies who retrieve the film from the public domain and slap it on a DVD without any remastering whatsoever. I don't know if this is the case, but certainly the quality is similar. The viewing is grainy and very low resolution.
