The idea of resuscitating Sherlock Holmes as a hero to fight Nazis was absolute, pure genius, and Basil Rathbone rose to the occasion by delivering a sterling performance. I know that Nigel Bruce's Watson was far from the original portrayal, but it added a note of comic relief in desperate times. These films really were masterpieces and served the war effort well.
I don't agree at all. It might have been an original thing or a moral necessity back in that time, but watching it now, it seems really a demented and unnatural as well as instrumental forcing. Beside offering a dead-boring episode, since nothing of the kind ever went on at the time. There is no chance that Victorian era and the contradictory but fascinating world it produced, could be transferred so many years after. Without nothing detracting from the actor play, which is always fantastic.
@@michelemarcolin2548 If an era of Victorian transcription can not exist, watch Dead Poets Society with the great Robin Williams. I loved all these movies and I don't think Sir Arthur would be offended at all. I do understand what you are saying
The film was shot in 1.37 to 1 (Academy) ratio, but TV screens are much wider. Simply stretching the image horizontally to fill the screen horizontally and vertically distorts everything in a distracting way.
Rathbone is THE definitive Holmes: I saw some clip on UA-cam where Conan Doyle was being interviewed and called Watson [something along the lines of] a rather stupid friend. Most unjust, but then Watson was his creation. Be that as it may, Nigel Bruce gives a warm avuncular performance. A very enjoyable film.
This is my favorite Holmes episode. Rathbone, here, absolutely conquers his greatest role! This 1942 episode is positively brilliant!! (Would've been nice to have a Churchill quick stand-in scene at 50:28.) And Holmes' final remark, as always, is profound. Thanks for posting. Take a look.
They were and are, the quintessential cinema Holmes and Watson. The late Jeremy Brett was equally fine in the UK Granada TV series, but for my money, Basil and Nigel nailed it perfectly. So glad you uploaded this.
It's obvious that you have never read any of the Sherlock Holmes novels or novellas by Conan Doyle or you would not have praised the portrayal of Watson as "quintessential". Hollywood reduced Watson to a moronic, inept, bumbling cartoon character unlike the resourceful, competent character that Conan Doyle created. Shill!
I can't accept that there's only one actor who ever played Holmes to a T. I've watched as many of Jeremy Brett's portrayals as I can find, but Basil Rathbone is a delight to watch. Rathbone did a radio presentation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, playing Scrooge, and I must listen to it every Christmas.

Many Sherlock Holmes purist hate this film because Holmes & Watson are transported from Victorian England to England of the 1940s. Our heroes are not pitted against the master crimminal Moriarty but against the Nazis. I personally have no problem with this time shift because the state of the world was in at the time. I admit that I prefer Holmes & Watson solving crimes set in the Victorian time frame but this film has much to offer. Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce are in top form . Evelyn Ankers is excellent as Kitty, a young woman who assists our heroes to hunt down the Nazis. Thomas Gomez & Reginald Denny are also excellent. The film moves along at quick & suspenseful pace. The screenplay was created to keep the morale of it's viewers high during the tense times that was WWII.
I had Relatives in Germany during WWII, but I really appreciate these Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson episodes. Some Germans (in the top leadership & SS & Gestapo) were so unbelievably cruel...it does me good to see them displayed in such negative light. I only wish that we in America had a Program to publically show the courage our Soldiers, etc. displayed during the War...especially for the sake of those who never got to come back home to the U.S.. so many of them made that one-way trip when they were so young!!!
The American forces were a part of the Allied effort, including countries far from England such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Together they rid the world of a tyrannical evil, and as such, they will always be thought of with respect and gratitude. A film that looks at three American servicemen returning from the war stars Fredrick March and Myrna Loy. I think it is called The Days of our Lives. It is a very moving film that gently but powerfully honours three American men who must readjust to their lives after returning from active service. I hope this film is still up.

"There's an east wind coming all the same. Such a wind has never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson. And a good many of us may wither before its blast. But its God's own wind nonetheless and a greener, better, stronger land that will lie in the sunshine when the storm was cleared. "
some people complain about the Dr Watson's involvement with Sherlock Holmes I found him to be a perfect counterpoint too Sherlock Holmes Holmes is the intellectual and Watson for better or worse was the comedy relief as it were so I found them the unique combination
One of my fav Rathbone/Bruce films. Based on Lord Haw-Haw, a US born British man named William Joyce who broadcast Nazi propaganda to the UK from Germany. And the introduction of the actor Henry Daniell, who for me, was the quintessential Moriarty (which he played in several Rathbone films).

"The Voice of Terror". In 1942, after a three-year break from the movies, which were spent on the radio, Rathbone & Bruce, the greatest Holmes/Watson of this or any other generation, returned to fight Nazis and fifth columnists in London. The ending was also the beginning of something: Rathbone ended the movie with a quote from Conan Doyle's "His Last Bow". When audience after audience stood and cheered, some even sobbing, Universal knew they had a magic formula on their hands, and ended the next few Holmes films with similar endings.....
Fascinating. I hadn't been paying attention to the chronology to this point. So the enthusiasm for Basil Rathbone's and Nigel Bruce's Holmes & Watson really took off after a three-year break? Fascinating, as I'd mentioned at the outset. The charm of their movies together is incalculable.
I remember seeing this on TV when I was like four years old and just watching whatever channel was on, and now here it pops up randomly again on UA-cam 40something years later. Wow.

I like Basil Rathbone a lot as Holmes. He’s as good as Jeremy Brett, perhaps better, they’re just different filming eras. Some of the action, drama, and violence of these older ones are really great, they surpass the Granada ones.
My favourite Sherlock Holmes is Jeremy Brett. I believe that series is more faithful to Conan-Doyle's versions. Jeremy Brett was a hero of mine, not only for his multidimensional portrayal of Holmes, but also the fact that he overcame a serious stutter in his speech. He was very brave regarding his serious heart issues as well, towards the end of the series. The Basil Rathbone films were rather novel due to the anachronisms that pop up frequently. Also, sometimes the action is taking place in England, and sometimes, in America. I find it amusing to watch, at any rate! 🗝⚖️🔎🎩

Rathbone and Bruce were magic together! Two of Hollywood's finest actors! 👏 The only sour note in this film is Thomas Gomez in that Nazi uniform. Just comical, without trying to be funny! 🤣 The actual voice of the Voice of Terror was film and radio actor Edgar Barrier(uncredied). He was a member of Orsen Wells Mercury Theater of the Air and featured in many radio mystery/thrillers of the 40s and 50s. As well as many film roles. 👏
Yes! I was waiting for him to be exposed as Moriarty in this Movie. Ha Ha. I have noticed that other actors have played different charactors in these movies also.
Sgt. G; thank you for your reply. I thought the Jeremy Brett shows were very well done also, but I always though the arrogance level he portrayed for the Holmes character was a bit too much. I think Rathbones was appropriately more subtle.
I love these old black and white movies. holmes and chan especially. Martin and Lewis hope and Crosby Abbott and Costello laurel and hardy. I would've loved to have seen an epic who done it with both holmes and chan. got some h. movies got most of c. movies. dvds are more reliable than vhs ever were if you take care of them. but I fear that may come to an end soon so I'm buying all I can while I can. the collections nearing 500.

Spoiler Alert: this is a rerun. I've seen it before. The British accents were fairly authentic be as were the periodic clothing. Fun wholesome plot. Good film. Teaches Nazis what a mistake it was to bomb Pearl Harbor.
The Rathbone/Bruce combo was enjoyable, but Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke set THE standard of the pair as Conan Doyle intended. Rathbone may have been able to match Brett had he been given the Granada series' scripts and production, but Bruce could never have touched Hardwicke's Watson. Just two totally different approaches. Bruce was a comic actor in this series, playing the buffoon - which is not the "real" Watson. Don't get me wrong, I love the Rathbone/Bruce series, but I put them in the same category as the more modern Cumberbatch/Freeman series - entertaining, but not the canonical pair.

Thomas Gomez seems to be an odd choice to play the Nazi agent Mead. He was American born & of Spanish & Irish decent - not remotely Arian. He was good at playing sinister yet intelligent characters though and he's good in this as well.
Funny comment. But not always true. However, he was always a fine character actor who could be relied on to make major contributions to every film he was in.
Bloody dreadful noisy modern adverts ruined the pleasure watching this brilliant film,I don't watch commercial TV anymore because of the garbage that's on,and the constant crappy adds truly sad that there on utube.
I didn't see a single ad. You need an ad blocker. It would have been great to record with my "Active Presenter" but I already have too much recorded. AP is free and it records video and audio with A+ quality!
A bit corny to our ears in the 2020's but back then in the early forties the audience seated in the cinema would have been listening out for the siren and this is the sort of episode that would have meant much more to them with their first hand knowledge of the destruction the German bombers

Rathbone was a great actor the best Sherlock Holmes ever. Rip S.H. Rathbone
Wow! Someone finally uploaded a Sherlock Holmes movie and didn't cut off the sides of the picture! Thank you very much!
The film was shot in 1.37 to 1 (Academy) ratio, but TV screens are much wider. Simply stretching the image horizontally to fill the screen horizontally and vertically distorts everything in a distracting way.
But the picture is strechet
This is displayed in 16.9 instead of the proper 4.3 because many people don't know that films before about 1950 were not wide screen.
Rathbone is THE definitive Holmes: I saw some clip on UA-cam where Conan Doyle was being interviewed and called Watson [something along the lines of] a rather stupid friend. Most unjust, but then Watson was his creation. Be that as it may, Nigel Bruce gives a warm avuncular performance. A very enjoyable film.

I have watched all the Rathbone-Bruce films and have a hard time watching any other ones. Basil is best!
I've probably seen all of these Basil Rathbone Sherlocks several times. Too bad they didn't make more of them.
Can't get enough of the old classics
I've watched 3 or so do you have suggestions for the best. How many are ther
the very last segment read toward the end of the movie was one of the best lines ever made little Watson the one fixed point in a never changing age
Just a classic! Rathbone was the best Holmes ever.
For me it was the late great Jeremy Brett. R.I.P.

Bloody dreadful noisy modern adverts ruined the pleasure watching this brilliant film,I don't watch commercial TV anymore because of the garbage that's on,and the constant crappy adds truly sad that there on utube.
run chrome and ad block
I didn't see a single ad. You need an ad blocker. It would have been great to record with my "Active Presenter" but I already have too much recorded. AP is free and it records video and audio with A+ quality!
@@stevenrandolph2660 Or pay for UA-cam Premium. Well worth it, and lots of free movies.
A bit corny to our ears in the 2020's but back then in the early forties the audience seated in the cinema would have been listening out for the siren and this is the sort of episode that would have meant much more to them with their first hand knowledge of the destruction the German bombers
Kitty is American....unusual casting for a gal with a speech like that in a British pub. NB
Evelyn Ankers was British born in Valparaiso, Chile to English parents (IMDB)

Every time I see those weak flashlights 🔦 in those days make me laugh.
great movie like all the them, but too many ads. jeesh.
ff to the end & then replay 😌
ryan barker...I am still baffled to hear viewers complaining about the ads in movies..in Sept. 2019!
ADBLOCKPLUS is an extension on Firefox..just add to your browser! Otherwise, google it and put it on and never worry about ads again!!
@@MrLyndarenaud does that cost anything?
@@ryanbarker5217 ....
No, Ryan. It is totally free! You put it on once..forget about it and it gives you ad free movies!
It will show a small Red ABP emblem, on the top right of your page, next to the 3 horizontal lines of your settings .
@@MrLyndarenaud good to know. do you have to use firefox, though? i had that for awhile, but it turned out chrome just works better for me.
at 2:40 a train track is switched to send the train over a cliff?
Who laid those tracks and for what purpose?????
The British Union Of Fascists, Railway Division No.666 ?
Michael Moore did it.....
Watson, I deduce that this train was derailed by a giant socialist weasel....
Stretch your imagination!
Actually, that was an inserted clip from The Invisible Man so blame it on Claude Rains.
They just don't make movies like this any more.
Be proud Great Britain...great pro patriotism movie.👏
The BEST
Too bad you didn't retain the original aspect ratio.
No, I don't think so. This movie is already widely available on the Internet, including UA-cam, in its proper original format.
If it had been me running that case, I would have solved it in 5 minutes. The Voice of Terror would have been my bank manager :/
Por favor coloquem filmes dublados ou legendados em português

@star entertainment english
the synopsis in your description states "Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and his devoted assistant, Dr. Watson" ..
Dr. Watson is Holmes" associate not his assistant..!
These could be such a different outcome if the truth had been public. About the activities of Bletchley and Intrepid parks. Dickens toured the dominion in 42. Cobourg Ontario was a stop. Where occasionally you can see Rochester N.Y. from across the lake. Is next door to intrepid.
Thomas Gomez was musical.

nigel bruce played it that way because he was told to.
Hollywood reduced Watson to a moronic, inept, bumbling cartoon character unlike the resourceful, competent character that Conan Doyle created.
Perfection
Far too many intrusive adverts. What a shame.
Adblock is one of many free ad blockers. Easy to install too. I find it very effective and donate a few bucks every year for the service.
Click a few seconds before the end of movie and then click play again icon, ads gone!
