SHERLOCK HOLMES - THE THE TRIUMPH OF(1935)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Another strong entry in the Sherlock Holmes saga,
this one finds Holmes "retiring" and Moriarty warning
him to "stay retired"! But as luck would have it, he
stumbles upon another mystery involving a woman and
her husband from America who've been threatened by a
large criminal organization of which it seems there
is reason to believe that Moriarty is a part of!! A
From an IMDb.com customer:
"The Triumoph of Sherlock Holmes" recently
came out on DVD. First off the copy is quite awful,
although from what I have read there aren't very
good video sources to take from. Secondly, Arthur
Wontner's Holmes is excellent. He looks like Holmes
and he acts like Holmes as portrayed by Conan Doyle.
The movie is based on one of the longer length
stories, "The Valley of Fear". The story includes
a long flashback to Pennsylvania coal country in
the US and is included in the movie. It is very well
done. As near as I can tell the scenes in America
were done with American actors, including the
well known character actor Ben Welden, except
for Boss McGinty played by Roy Emerton who
does a great job.
The movie contains a good many Holmesian
aphorisms taken from other stories. While it's
always a pleasure to hear them I can imagine
if you saw movie after movie and heard the
same lines multiple times it could become a
little annoying.
I particularly liked the Watson of Ian Fleming
as every time Holmes introduces himself and
neglects Watson, Watson nudges him with his
arm. A small bit but nicely done. - dj455k
