4.0 out of 5 stars
Another Winning Basil/Nigel Flick!,
By David Von Pein (Mooresville, Indiana; USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sherlock Holmes Terror by Night (VHS Tape)
"Terror by Night" (1946; 60 minutes) is the 13th, and next-to-last, entry in the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce series of Sherlock Holmes films produced between 1939 and 1946. This one isn't my favorite in the series, but a good one nevertheless. Even the poorest ones in the series are hoisted up immeasurably just by the presence of the two leads: Basil Rathbone (as the master detective himself) and Nigel Bruce (as Dr. John H. Watson).
"Terror" takes place entirely aboard a train, with murder and mystery along for the ride! Out of the fourteen films made in this excellent series of Holmes Classics, I would rank this one as my 6th favorite. The ones I deem even more entertaining would be ..... #1.) The Hound of the Baskervilles [the first title with Rathbone as Sherlock; 1939]; #2.) The House of Fear; #3.) Sherlock Holmes Faces Death; #4.) The Scarlet Claw; #5.) The Woman In Green. All of these films generate a vivid atmosphere of mystery and suspense, and are all worth a look. |
