Most helpful review Sherlock Holmes - Terror by Night

  • Pure nostalgia...

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    ...Not that I remember it when it was released of course, but for lovers of a good detective story and Sherlock Holmes in particular, the Rathbone/Bruce pairing as Holmes and Watson is absolutely classic.

    Look out for the terrible cockney accents - it makes Dick van Dyke look unfairly persecuted all these years - but happily it does nothing to detract from the enjoyment of what is a perfect piece of comfort viewing for a Sunday afternoon.

  • Iconic actors, wonderful story

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    What's not to love about this winning combination of actors playing iconic roles - good plotline, lots of action and nice humour. Just hoping many of the other Rathbone and Bruce Sherlock Holmes films will be made available online.

    Basil Rathbone as Holmes is always watchable. This film has a few nice twists along the way. Sit back and enjoy

  • Another great Rathbone/Bruce partnership!

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By FefeAlabama (28 reviews) from Bristol , 20 Mar 2011
    Another great Sherlock Holmes film, in which Rathbone brilliantly portrays the clever, satirical, charming Holmes that any fan of the Rathbone/Bruce pairing will love! This time, Sherlock has been paid to look after the Star of Rhodesia Diamond, on board a train headed to Edingborough, but someone is out to steal the Diamond and killings and trickery are out to stop Holmes from doing his job! A good watch for any fan of the black and white Sherlock Holmes films! Not quite as good as the Woman In Green though.
