This is nothing more than a repeat of a compilation of the three DVD's previously released featuring Rathbone and Bruce. They are:

Dressed to Kill
The Woman in Green
Terror by Night

If you already got them, don't buy this!
Caveat emptor! (let the buyer beware)

Can't buy it if I don't know what's on it! There are many other products that brings no information at all, making it impossible to order. So don't put them on sale if you can't say what's inside!

As a devotee of the stylish and suave Basil Rathbone's Holmes, and a fan of Nigel Bruce's Watson, I would buy this movie if only I knew what it were about. Come on you silly twits at Amazon, more info should be forthcoming if you ever expect to sell this one. There are a lot of Rathbone/Bruce fans out there, and you have managed to annoy us, and insult our intelligence by expecting us to buy it sight unseen. Ain't gonna happen.

Don't get me wrong, Basil Rathbone is definitely one of the best Sherlock Holmes ever. The take on A. Conan Doyle's work on these films are great. We can't expect the sound or picture to be of superb quality since these are lifted from very old probably brittle films and it's priced quite low. So low as to be so tempting even to the casual buyer... and the DVD does not run at all. We've asked amazon to replace or refund us for this dozens of times with no result. So we just imagine the contents based on the TV reruns we saw as kids. The DVD is defective, doe snot work at all. And Vintage Home Entertainment does not have a website or contact email, so forget it, you'll be stuck with a defective DVD and kiss your $7+shipping goodbye.

Is this the Adventures of Shelock Holmes(?)...with Ida Lupino?....Please re-list with some information...this is slack...no one buy it until it is re-listed with info...sheeessshhhhhhh. I gave it 5 stars just to get someone to read my review...It has to be one of the first two Holmes Films made by Bruce and Rathbone, and it is obviously not the "H. O. T. B.", but still...could you imagine someone at Amazon doing this to a Granada series title...

There is no information about the actual contents of this DVD. We cannot make an informed purchasing decision without some information.

I too would like to know whats on the DVD before I order it.

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon

Dressed to Kill

The Woman in Green
