Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes Double Feature The definitive Holmes and Watson in two of the mystery master's mightiest adventures. Over one hundred films have been made about the beloved fictional supersleuth of 221B Baker Street. But it is the fourteen made between 1939 and 1946 starring Basil Rathbone as the Great Detective and Nigel Bruce as the good doctor that transformed Sherlock Holmes into one of the most popular figures in American cinema. THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. Holmes' arch enemy Professor Moriarty, played to villainous perfection by George Zucco, is planning the supercrime of the century - the theft of the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London. To mask his true intentions, he concocts a complicated murder threat involving Ann Brandon (Ida Lupino) and her family. Racing from the start toward a pulse-quickening denoument, with a fine cast, elegant sets and costumes, an exciting screenplay, a first-rate director and beautiful photography, this is considered by many to be the best of all the Holmes-Rathbone films.
