About this product
The Woman in Green is a 1945 American film, the eleventh of the fourteen Sherlock Holmes films. The film stars Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. When several women are murdered and their forefingers severed, Holmes and Watson are called in to investigate. Widower Sir George Fenwick (Paul Cavanagh) has a romantic night at the apartment of Lydia Marlowe (Hillary Brooke), and is hypnotized into believing that he is responsible for the crimes. He is certain he is guilty when he awakes from a stupor only to find a forefinger in his pocket. His daughter discovers Sir Fenwick burying the finger and goes to Holmes and Watson with this information. Sir Fenwick is then found murdered by someone to keep him from talking, and Holmes theorizes that Moriarty, (Henry Daniell), who was supposed to have been hanged in Montevideo, is alive and responsible for the crimes. Holmes now realizes that Moriarty's plan involves killing women and cutting off their forefingers, making rich, single men believe they have committed the crimes, using this fake information to blackmail them and counting on the victims being too terrified to expose the scheme. Holmes befriends Lydia, whom he had seen with Sir George at a restaurant and suspects she is in cahoots with Moriarty. Moriarty then hypnotizes Holmes and tells him to write a suicide note and to walk out of Lydia's apartment onto the ledge and jump to his death. Watson arrives just in time to grab the criminals, but Moriarty escapes from the hold of the policeman and jumps to the top of another building. This movie has to be watched to find out how this never ending rivalry between Holmes and Moriarty ends. This is truly Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, not to mention Professor Moriarty, at their quintessential best! (66 minutes - 1945 - Black & White - 4 3).

Dressed to Kill was released in 1946 and features Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The film was the last of fourteen films starring Rathbone and Bruce. A convicted thief in Dartmoor Prison (played by an uncredited Cyril Delevanti) hides the location of stolen Bank of England printing plates inside three music boxes (each of which play a different version of 'The Swagman'. The boxes are then sold to a local auction house. Sherlock Holmes sets out to discover why a trio of murderous villains, including a dangerously attractive female, are desperate to obtain three unassuming and inexpensive little music boxes. The head of the gang belongs to a darkly, beautiful and ruthless woman, who is also a consummate actress as Holmes soon learns. She disguises herself as a charwoman and speaks Cockney, which both insults and berates both Holmes and Watson. The beautiful woman pretends not to recognize Holmes and Watson and she leaves with a music box right under their noses. Holmes must recover the last music box to crack the secret code contained in the tune before it is too late. Another fantastic tale of mystery and suspense which only the likes of the famous duo of Holmes and Watson can solve. (76 minutes - 1946 - Black & White - 4 3).
Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) pretends to be a Nazi spy to aid scientist Dr. Franz Tobel (William Post, Jr.) and his invention (a bombsight), while in Switzerland. Holmes and Franz fly back to London, but Franz slips away for a secret meeting with his fiancée, handing her a coded message to be presented to Holmes should anything happen to him. Holmes receives a call telling him that Tobel has disappeared. Holmes goes to Charlotte's apartment, where he receives Tobel's envelope. Rather than the coded message, the message inside is from Holme's nemesis, master criminal Professor Moriarty (Lionel Atwill). Moriarty has abducted Tobel to retrieve the secrets to his invention, which Tobel had given in four sections to trusted associates. Holmes returns to Charlotte's apartment to search for the four missing parts to the encoded message. Holmes is able to deduce three of the message's parts, but cannot figure out the fourth. Meanwhile, Moriarty is torturing Tobel in order to uncover the four parts to the message. Who deciphers the encoded message first - Holmes or Moriarty? Lots of action and thrills to come, making this one of the best Holme's classics ever made! (65 minutes - 1943 - Black & White - 4 3).
In Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon, Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) pretends to be a Nazi spy to aid scientist Dr. Franz Tobel (William Post Jr.) whose new invention, the InchTobel Bombsight,Inch could turn the tide in favor of the allies.

The Secret Weapon is notable for the first appearance of Dennis Hoey as Inspector Lestrad, a Scotland Yard detective who will would appear in several subsequent films. This is the fourth of fourteen films starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson- a must see for all Sherlock Holmes fans.
