I love these movies. No swearing, good plots, and great acting.
I miss good movies like this.
I can't help thinking how polite everyone was to each other on the train. Except for the three goons that rushed Greyson, obviously.
I am 72 and glad to hear someone else watches so much.
The ending where they are driving past the Capital and Holmes talking about Democracy brought a tear to my eyes. Its under attack and people aren't seeing it
hahaha. The Hypocrisy of Democracy. uk usa, and ussr world terrorists .
Keep your head up. This Democracy has been under attack since 1781 but it continues to survive. Why? Because when their backs are to the wall Americans will stand up and fight for truth and justice.
He was referring directly to the Nazis. This was filmed during WW2. All British movies at that time contained stirring patriotic references to boost wartime morale.
America will never be defeated, except from within. 🇺🇸
@MrAJR76
We know what they were talking about. The person commenting was reminded in the last scene about what's happening in America today.
My father fought the nazis & fascists in world war two. He's turning in his grave with what's happening now with treasonous fascist nazi republican MAGAts trying to overthrow our government and create an oppressive dictatorship the likes of which he fought against.
l watch Sherlock Holmes almost everyday sometimes two or three times a day. we go back for many years since l am 69 years. 😆 💘
It's his voice.....I listen to these movies while I work from home. ♥
Cool we can all find these classics that we saw as kids and now even understand more about what we enjoyed back then cool beans all the way around I won’t fart in anyone’s presence
I can say that while l don't watch that much since l have discovered this treasure trove of movies just yesterday l have watched 5 movies in 48 hours. I have been watching Holmes since l was 8 years old and, l am now 67.
69, nice
you clearly have a high IQ.
Basil Rathbone was the best Holmes. No one to touch him. And what a partnership he had with Nigel Bruce.
I was of the same thinking until a couple of years ago when I saw Jeremy Bret play him in the Sherlock Holmes series from the 80's. He was the same well spoken Englishman, but with a bit of an edge. They're both brilliant to be honest.
Jeremy Brett ...End of Coversation..
I agree. They are exquisite 🤌
I'm partial to Cushing as Holmes. It's a pity we didn't see more of him in that role.
I just turned 70,and I’ve always enjoyed watching Sherlock Holmes movies,as long as Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce were in it.
I remember watching these as a child. I loved Sunday Sherlock Holmes or Charlie Chan. How I long for simpler times.
we need Sherlock Holmes in Washington today!
The media would crucify him and keep on until the sheeple believed it. The fbi would raid his home and trump up charges against him. Prosecutors paid by evil personified would have him in court til he wouldn't have time to work and judges would back them up.
No one ever played Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson better than Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. They were the best!
Even though I love these ghd best sherlock was jeremy brett
@@scottchappell3193 Who? 😂👎
Well said sir !!!
agreed
Peter Cushing was also good.
Can't say enough about Rathbone and Bruce. Just the 2 perfect actors for those roles
Basil Rathbone was a Great actor!!!!...and Nigel Bruce so Lovable....Sherlock had such love for the his friend Watson...just a marvelous series and Im so thankful I get to watch these over and over again..
Rathbone's friendship with Bruce was just as real and deep as Holme's and Watson's fictional relationship. They worked together on radio for several years and stayed friends for life.
Rathbone and Bruce were both World War 1 veterans - Bruce permanently wounded and Rathbone was refused when he tried to re-enlist at the start of WW2. (He was more valuable to Britain in these films. Note the admiration of the Capitol quoting Churchill in the closing scene of this one.)
Sherlock Holmes was deductively brilliant, but often Watson had some seemingly irrelevant impressionistic - inductive - observation that helped clinch Holmes' deduction.
More could have been made of that, with a shot of Watson then having a sly, satisfied expression in his eyes.
Basil Rathbone..the BEST...
Wartime movies yet with timeless mysteries. Basil and Nigel were great actors in these roles
try Jeremy Britt!
When I read a Sherlock Holmes story I have always Basil Rathbone in mind.
The barman in the train scenes is Clarence Muse. He does a lot more with that tiny role than most actors could. Muse, a law-school dropout, became an actor, singer, director and songwriter. His best known song is "When It;s Sleepy Time Down South". His final appearance was in a film released on his 90th birthday -- the day after his death.
Thankyou for that. People tend to overlook the actors in the more minor roles.
I'm guilty of that because I didn't even know his name.
I Love comments like yours ,
Appreciate the info on Mr Clarence Muse.
Thanks for sharing this information
Unfortunately, even with a large speaking role, they didn't even put him on the list of players.
The chemistry/timing of Rathbone and Bruce is amazing !!!!!!!! Love it 😍
Basil & Nigel! The BEST! They were actually really close friends. Pretty sure BASIIL passed, & left Nigel really rattled. I’m so glad they were friends. These are classic memories that l will ALWAYS WATCH!! ✨😄💥👊🏾
I love the way Holmes says "thank you."
Basil and Nigel people still love their team up 60 years + later
And forever will.
Basil Rathbone, one of the greatest actors of all time!
Yes agreed, no role he couldn't play
@@ange9663how about Frank Spencer?
STILL AFTER 76 YEARS ATTRACTIVE,FANTASTIC SHERLOCK HOLMES MOVIES.
Thank you very much for giving us this collection. Basil Rathbone has no equal at the role of Sherlock Holmes.
"They don't make them like that anymore!" I know we've all heard that expression before but it's certainly true of these great Rathbone/Bruce movies. Love the Churchill quote at the end too. And for those of you who don't know, this pair also did a long-running Sherlock Holmes radio series too, which you can hear online. Nobody ever did Holmes better!
Churchill was a war profiteer.
Love the fact that even though they're bitter enemies, Stanley and Holmes are incredibly polite to each other... Got to love a British villain. 😅
If only that kind of civility was practiced today! Love these old movies. :)
Don’t forget people it’s just a movie. That’s how they wrote the script.
Polite to the end - well, someone's end.
@@scotttilson8876 : well said. People use tae believe anything they see in a movie. Those who've got killed in the movie, dinnae die at all. B. Rathbone iz deathless. The evidence iz I had tea wi' him yesterday at five.
Yes, the only person who's polite now is Hannibal Lecter.
This was one of the better episodes I’ve seen. Loved watching the matchbook being passed around from person to person. Knowingly and unknowingly. Fantastic!
Yes very Hitchcockian for a Holmes episode! I regretted the casting a bit because it's obvious who's bad and who's good but eventually I realized that wasn't the point. Great show.
Holmes is awesome. Totally without match and hence matchless.
The matchbook with an endless supply of matches! 😂
Incredible actors and my favorite portraying Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson! This movie and all the others shows how incredibly talented and dedicated these 2 men performed in the greatest mysteries of all time!
... and it was called, "The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra" and the storyline was about a Sherlock Holmes' Adventure. Lo and behold, Firesign Theatre actually based the title on Dr. Watson's "Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra" from this movie, "Pursuit to Algiers!" I loved the Firesign theater's portrayal of Holmes and to know that the title actually came from a movie was quite astonishing.
I agree emphatically!
Thank you very much for posting this. These films are so great. There's nothing of this quality anymore so thanks for keeping the
tradition going.
I really like enjoy watching the original Sherlock Holmes stories.
Like totally...😎
SH movies are the absolute epitome of the English language. Rathbone is impeccable !
I don’t think even the great Sherlock could help with the corruption in DC today!
Cinema fans of all generations are lucky that UA-cam preserves these Classic Movies 🎥🎬
Never get tired of watching the classic and especially Sherlock
I love how Watson is always exited about life .He is totally in different wipe than Sherlock. Sherlock is all business and Watson is always enjoying something.
Holmes is always ripping him up in public
Any relationship requires a balance
True, the milkshake, the gum, the curry in another film he really is a brilliant character is Watson.
Watson is always exited?....totally in different wipe? Plz explain what you're attempting to convey.
@@joanie3452 Believe the 'curry' reference (Curry? Horrible stuff) by Holmes was while on a train in "Dressed to Kill"
Next to the books themselves Basil Rathbone was the best Sherlock Holmes. And made while WW2 was going on, and England was under attack. In this Movie- Winston Churchill was probably asking for America's help- as mentioned in the end. Great film!
He's the best sherlock holmes to me👍👍👍
Yes...
Renee Richburg - I agree and this is similar to how I feel that Sean Connery was the only James Bond. Thanks to films, we can say that as long as we are around.
Yeah I wish he’d made more he was so good
Absolutely agreed!
With out a doubt
“Flash Gordon, seems to be a very capable fellow”. Funny.
What a beautiful view of our Capital Building through the eyes of British heroes, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. 🙂
Of course, the dome of the U.S. Capitol building was modeled on that of St. Paul's cathedral in London. :)
I have enjoyed the acting of Basil Rathbone in all his roles.
Basil was excellent w Errol Flynn & Olivia De Havilland in The Adventures of Robin Hood (Warner Bros, circa 1938, glorious Technicolor)
I've always wondered why Watson seems so clueless 🤔. Thinking about the films 🎥. They were started while Britain 🇬🇧 was in the midst of WWII and America 🇺🇸 was entering. The subject matter. Murder, terror, treachery and espionage was dark. Having Watson add some levity to the films 🎥 made the moviegoers forget their worries 😟 at the time. Lightening the mood.
I've watched three of these today. Great fun, thank you!
Whadda ya mean , great fun ? This actually happened .
i get on a run, myself!
I truly loved the way the elderly lady rolled her R’s. proper 1940’s style 👵🏻
WONDERFUL!
Superb picture,
synchronised sound, and
correct aspect ratio - so much here that other UA-cam presenters should try to follow.
This film had more humor and fun than most others.
Terror by Night had some humorous parts too with Watson and Lestrade.
Best pair of actors ever.
I am amazed by the hair style of Holmes. Dr Warson lovable. I can never have enough of these movies
God bless the team that created these movies.
Wonderful talented human beings. I love them all. 🙏 🌹 ❤️ 💙 💜
His hair bothers me so much when they do it this way. 😂
Watson :"Two sheets of paper....that's too dry to swallow"
Holmes: "Especially legal documents " lol!!
You stole my comment, man!!! LOL!
I meant, 'ma'am'! ;-)
Oh my gosh. Read your comment prior to watching the movie that was hilarious when I saw Watson and Holmes repeat it.😅😅😂😋
Miss those days when simple bantering didn't have to be mean spirited.
I didnae think that SH's fans were teenyboppers in using swear 'n' dirty words as "lol"....
@@chrislong3938 : I didnae think that SH's fans were teenyboppers in using swear 'n' dirty words as "lol"....
Watson(28:24), on hearing that the mice had been released from the cage, zeroes in on that singular bit of trivia among all the other detail: " What happened to the mice I wonder". Holmes replies: "An intriguing line of thought, but not essential to the case". I just love that exchange----hysterical. Basil can be so delightfully droll.
people in these comments complain that Nigel's Watson is dumb. I feel differently about it - they're balanced. Watson is all heart, and a counter to Holmes's insouciance which can be mean and narrow. It's funny about the mice, yes. I'd be worrying about them too.
Yup. Maybe the second best line in the whole movie the 1st was when watching said about eating the paper being too dry And home said legal about legal paper being dryer misquoting but that's the gist of it very funny
@@2990rick
This needs a re-write. Watching may be meant as Watson,. Home, about Holmes, etc , etc
Nigel Bruce was actually younger than Basil Rathbone
The last few minutes of this episode speaks of democracy and it's importance here in the U.S...timely.🇺🇸
Yes, I wonder what Winston Churchill would think of his beloved England and the US if he were alive today?
The engaged couple played by Marjorie Lord and John Archer were actually married when the film was made. They are the parents of actress Anne Archer.
One of my dearest friends was Annie Archers make up artists, Ms. Cheryl Patak
Wow
I love Marjorie Lord! Wasn't she on "The Danny Thomas Show"? Believe she only recently passed away.
@@MichaelGunner123 Yes she was.
Interesting Hollywood trivia ...
Dr. Watson, what a hoot! A cross-eyed Carrier pigeon story and Holme's saying " We've got it" and Watson's reply "clear as mud to me." 😂😂
Yes love him too. He was the best at Sherlock Holmes.
This was one of the best episodes of the basil Rathbone series!!! And I've got one of the original match folders!!
Ahhh Sir Basil,you were magnificent.See you in heaven!
When I watched these films years ago, it irked me that Dr Watson was portrayed as a baffoon. Now .. I find him totally adorable, so sweet, wonderfully comic. Cheers up dreaded lockdown.
Æwww
The "foil effect" which is a literary technique used by Doyle. To make a smart character look really super smart pair him up with a not too bright character.
See my reply under guyrestovo's comment.
@Mary Smit And note that whereas girls and women have a high casualty rate in the British setting of these, the American girl is saved ... presumably not to offend chivalrous American sensibilities.
@@999Patriots Then it was a very flawed, narrow-minded technique. Holmes the ascetic/stoic deductive while Watson could have also been showcased/celebrated as the Epicurean *inductive* to knit Holmes' deductions together with some generalist's observation/allegory - an even more (believably) productive *symbiotic* crime
An excellent film I have seen many times, this restoration is excellent. Thanks for uploading.
I love the insert of the groaner joke at 20:57. Another great actor with his own take on Holmes. Rathbone and Brett are masters, as are their side-kicks.
proper actors proper acting pure class .... unlike these days
This blast from the past brings back memories.
This is my favorite Sherlock Holmes Series ! 🙂
That music means Shelock Holmes will soon be on my screen! Yippee!
“My blodgings at Baker Street.” Flubs the line keeps on going. Rathbone was the best.
It wasn't live, you know. They could have retaken the scene, but obviously the director didn't think it was necessary. That was back in the days when they filmed a B movie in only a week or so.
2024, watching as a Senior, noticing the good speech, well dressed people, polite, quality scripts anc on and on. Great to see these 2 actors and wish I had a Dr Watson in my life, so lovable.
Excellent!!! Never seen, this one. Love the whole pretense, of Sherlock's humor, with the matchpack. Especially the interaction, with George Zucco😁!!! Very, well written script, also😉!!
I once dressed up as Holmes for my favorite fictional character and someone asked me if i was a flasher. Apparently i was the only one there who adores Holmes. That's ok but he is still the best fictional character!
😂
Great ending, Holmes always has the last word, Democracy worth saving….
We're a Republic not a democracy... just fyi
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce the original Sherlock Holmes And Dr.Watson none better, never tire of seeing their cases to be solved
I love all Sherlock Holmes classics, especially Jeremy Brett. I've watched them as often as I could and always have them on as background 'music' when doing my artwork for years now. I will never be tired of them. Don't know how many times I've watched Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Arthur Wontner, Ronald Howard, Jeremy Brett). These classic SH are the best!! Thank you to all who uploads SH movie classic. God bless you all.❤❤❤
Te filmy z Basilem Rathbonem jako Sherlockiem Holmesem mają fenomenalną muzykę - szalenie nastrojową, budującą klimat każdej sceny, a przy tym świetnie, subtelnie zaaranżowaną i wpadającą w ucho. Dla mnie ta muzyka jest genialna i stanowi silną stronę wszystkich odcinków z lat 1942-46.
Scena w sklepie z antykami to jedna z najlepszych scen w historii kina.
I love the way they work that matchbook so practically everyone, but J Edgar Hoover has their hands on it so to speak one time or another. Sort of a hot potato.
Love basil rathbone and nigel
Hes the best of the best
Holmes's hair is a fright!
haha
Indeed, the devil's horns no less.
For some reason his hair is a train wreck in this episode.
You got that right, Rosebud!!!
@@Master_Blackthorne A trainwreck X 22!
A great old movie. Thank you for posting it.
Yes, a great CLASSIC film.
Little did I know watching these films as a kid would they become classic. Still watch to this day. Believe Basil R. best Holmes.
HAVEN'T SEEN THESE MOVIES IN YRS.LIKE 40S YEARS. DO BRINGS BACK MEMORIES..
Sherlocks hairstyle looks like the windswept look Napoleon tried for.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lol.
what were they thinking of.
@@christinemoir5510 : I didnae think that SH's fans were teenyboppers in using swear 'n' dirty words as "lol"....

04:13 - Dear God - Please bring these times back. Thank You. SaiRama 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙂🙂🙂
I have been binging on Sherlock. Love it. Love Basil and Nigel. Reminds me of days that were not so complicated.
Loved Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson since I was a little girl growing up in NY. Favorite Sherlock and Watson is Rathbone and Green.
I wonder who came up with Sherlock's choice of hair style? I find the little tufts of hair so carefully placed by his temples interesting. No one else in all of this series films had the same layout. How cute. Love these two guys.
I have to respectfully disagree...Holmes' hair in this particular Sherlock film was a bit feminine - looking & not a good look at all.
@@MichaelGunner123 that was Sherlock Holmes Nazi fighting hairstyle and his way of flipping the bird at Hitler!
Nazi fighting hairstyle?
Oh it bothers me so much!
Exciting story acted by talented thespians.
The antique shop with the neat appearing collectables, covert communications devices, hidden passage with the sarcophagus and back rooms were artistically great.
Thanks for the movie.
Democracy...the only hope for the future; a telling line (from the movie) even in today's times of turmoil not unlike the 1940s.
That had to be Basil Rathbone! I can hear him say it to Watson and Lestrade! Norma Jean Morrissey historian in training. Please look up French detective Eugene Vidoq. Interesting parallels between the real Vidoq and fictitious Holmes!! "The game is afoot!"
Even with Trump democracy?
@@Ahmadalias1 Trump is history. Democracy triumphed again, despite the best efforts of Trump and his racist, paranoid supporters who hoped he would "make America white again!"
We’re a little too close to 1940s.
JUST FOUND THIS CHANNE A FEW DAYS AGO.., HAVEN'T WATCH THESE MOVIES FOR 30YRS...FUN TO SEE THEM AGAIN...
Finally - a commercial I'd like to comment on !
Zen Water - the absolute coolest commercial 👍.
Him and dr.watsonare the best you can watch it over and over it's called real entertainment',music in movies is the best.
Yes! Music is incredible!
HE & Dr Watson
I love these films. I bought what I thought was a collection of all these movies but was disappointed to find only 4 films with Rathbone and Bruce. I never did understand why Basil Rathbone had such a ridiculous hair style in some of the films. I’m so glad these have been posted for viewing.
Paula More films are out there. Do what I do. I find each channel showing old movies, then scroll through for weeks at a time. Found some goodies that way. Although not Sherlock, there are 100's of 1930-1950 movies called "film noir". B&W mysteries many of which are outstanding. Lists are on line. Some I like are "Saboteur", not Sabotage-not as good, "Shadow of a Doubt", "Rope", "Lost Weekend", "Dark Victory"-best Bette Davis movie ever with future president Reagan in a small part. You will cry! I have no doubt! "The Stranger" w/ Orson Welles, scary, but you don't know why! I urge you to find those I have listed esp. SABOTEUR-great spy story and DARK VICTORY-real tear jerker. Only the one with Bette Davis! Norma Jean Morrissey movie lover
@@normajeanmorrissey2903 Bette Davis..best actress of all-time..you listed all great movies..just watched Saboteur again..fabulous..Bob Cummings was great..i forgot how emotional that movie was..whats going on with tcm..playing less great classic movies and many poor newer ones
His hairstyle was ESPECIALLY over - the - top BAD in this particular flick.....the 'other' 13 films, it was more sedate.
@@normajeanmorrissey2903 ALL EXCELLENT suggestions. You truly know your stuff! Feel free to drop me a line anytime. Your feedback and insight are right up my alley. Thanks SO MUCH (Michael in Mississippi).
These two, the best in film. And the radio programs were just as good. Nigel Bruce, always a favorite.
Love these old movies esp. Sherlock Holmes. Watching ONE STEP BEYOND TOO. Great acting and great stories. Thanks for sharing.
Love these CLASSIC films, too.
note to self "must get moorish furniture..."
"Permit me"...to solve the case across the pond. A good outing for Holmes.
Watching for the 1st time in 2024 .new fan ar the age of 58 .🔎👍🏼🔎
No screams untill the customer is gone! Priceless
1:09 If only Holmes, if only. Even a Brit had admiration for the US as we did for them. Now it's every man for himself, not his country.
Don't believe what all the loudmouths in the media and SJWs tell you.
@@indy_go_blue6048 No, we should listen to all the loudmouths on Fox News and the right-wing conservative white supremacists who stormed the Capitol building to overturn a democratic election. Go to so much hell.
@@indy_go_blue6048 what does SJW have to do with this movie? You are weird.
Another Churchill ending quote. Well done! Thanks for posting.
The best Sherlock Holmes and Watson ever
No, Jeremy Brett is
@@kathleencampbell2298 Boring compared to Rathbone.
The only film Hollywood ever made in which a matchbook is the star.
Notice how everyone smoked one after another its a wonder that they still can speak !!!!! Seems that book of matches was never ending”
@@watersidelapper6314 25 matches came in those "books"...
I FAVOR THIS VERSION. Why because of the chemistry of the actors who portray Dr. Watson and Holmes.
Don't like how Holmes too often ridicules Watson in this particular film......the tapping on the table, etc
Happy memories ..
Couple of times I’ve watched this , and enjoyed it. Thank you so much for kind showing .
Love these movies i watch them every day
Basil & Nigel will always be the best Holmes & Watson ever. Though l will admit that Jeremy Brett and Cumberbatch rank close seconds.
Let’s not forget Downey
.... an' D. Trump in third place.
I honestly do not understand why people think Jeremy Brett was a good Holmes. Brett's portrayal was nothing like Conan Doyle's Holmes. Brett was just over-the-top with his histrionics. Basil Rathbone forever!
@@fredericmartin7148 Yes he was over the top sometimes. Seemed to.be dealing with some of his own demons. I liked the series though because except for some of the later episodes which were VERY weird , they followed the books very closely.
.The two Watsons were excellent also.
But when I reread the stories, I always visualize Rathbone.
@@aarothiruvarangam5607 The Downey movies were absolutely ridiculous, had nothing whatsoever to do with the books or Holme's ' character. Well, actually I only saw one of them, that was enough for me.
You got to love him
Who do we got to love? Benedict Cumberbatch is my pick! He is the best looking Sherlock♡♡♡♡ what is your opinion?? Norma Jean Morrissey
I love all the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watsons. They all have their merits and my fond memories of growing up watching them. Benedict is a newcomer and very handsome. I find his speech a bit rapid. Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett were more measured when they spoke. Time may be of the essence, but with some things, slightly slower is better.
