Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Dressed to Kill (1946) is the fourteenth and final film in the Rathbone/Holmes series. After over a dozen movies and more than 200 radio appearances as The Great Detective, Rathbone felt it was time to move on to other pursuits. Three identical musical boxes manufactured by an inmate at Dartmoor Prison are sold to three random collectors at an auction house in London. A female antagonist (Patricia Morison) and her accomplices attempt to recover the musical boxes using all means possible, even murder. Watson's old schoolmate, Julian "Stinky" Emery, purchases one of the boxes. After an evening of entertaining Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Emery is murdered and robbed of the recently-purchased musical box. Holmes and Watson investigate and begin to realize that the musical boxes contain more than just a swaggering Australian folk tune.

4.0 out of 5 stars Last entry in the series, June 9, 2006
This review is from: Sherlock Holmes - Dressed to Kill (DVD)
This was the last entry in the series and while not one of the best, it was still an enjoyable entry. As usual, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce gave excellent performances. At this point in the series Rathbone was tired of his character role and wanted to move on. Patricia Morison who played Hilda Courtney was a very good antagonist of Holmes. The MPI release is much more superior than some of the other poor releases that have been going around for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best plots, March 22, 2006
By Sgt. Bilko (Ca. USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sherlock Holmes - Dressed to Kill (DVD)
I have all the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes' movies. This is one of the best and most interesting of them all. The use of the music boxes and the tunes are ingenious and the solving of the mystery is great. Enjoy and listen carefully and see if you can solve this before they do!!!
