SHERLOCK HOLMES - AND THE SECRET WEAPON(1942)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
As with most of the Sherlock Homes movies made from
1942-1944, this has our daunting duo in the wrong time
frame, and battling against Nazis! I don't care as much
for these as the ones that are truer to the Arthur Conan
Doyle's Holmes/Watson stories!! But, this does have Basil
Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, the two best to ever play the
roles! And the story is ok! It just loses a lot without the
ambience from Doyle's Holmes!! B+

A review from Amazon.com:
This movie features Basil Rathbone as Holmes. He is
protecting a weapon that the Nazi's want. This is based
on "The Adventure of the Dancing Men." The Dancing
Men are a code to where the weapon is. Moriarity tries
to kill Holmes for the weapon by s l o w l y drawing out
Holmes's blood. Now this is unbelivible-Holmes-after
having 1\4 of his blood drawn out-still can jump up
and fight! I won't tell what happens to Moriarity-but
you have to watch VERY closly to see. Enjoy! - A Customer
