5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Quality, November 10, 2004

This review is from: The Complete Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes Collection (DVD)

If you're a fan of the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce versions of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, this collection is a must. After years of watching my old copies of the movies with the scratchy sound and visuals, I bought a couple of the digitally restored dvd's (done by UCLA). Having seen those, I popped for the remainder of the collection. The difference is stunning!

I had no idea how much visual and aural detail I was missing -- bits of dialogue, acting nuances, that lovely old Black & White movie lighting. These are definitely worth the price of admission.

The complete Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes is really an excellent restoration! If you like Rathbone and Bruce and the Sherlock Holmes stories this set is a must! The fine job UCLA has done mean you see the actors clearly and all the details are crisp and clear. Definitely better than early VHS copies of the movies where a copy was made of a copy of an old deteriating film. Always did like Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes; WGN (Chicago) in the late '60's or early '70's had run the Rathbone Holmes movies on the weekend with Basil introducing the story! If all you have seen are copies of older prints you won't believe the clarity and sharpness of these DVD's!!!

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are just a pleasure to watch. I love the movies that take place during the Victorian period and I only wish this series would have had more of that ambience. The quality of these films is impeccable. Anyone who is a fan of this series must absolutely invest in these DVDs for their collection.
