Review of Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943) by Brian M — 27 Nov 2008
This might be the only WWII installment that doesn't include wartime propaganda (save for the end speech perhaps). At least the antagonists aren't Nazis this time. Here we have more of a whodunit full of red herrings.
It starts out like a haunted house story, but it strays away from that. The soldiers are fun characters, and Bruce, yet again, is there for comic relief. Nice ending as well. Based loosely on "The Musgrave Ritual.
" Note: Future Rat Packer Peter Lawford appears uncredited in the beginning of the film as a sailor in the bar.
