Review of Terror by Night (1946) by Orlok W — 28 Jul 2012

While on a train, many strange things might happen. And Sherlock Holmes is prepared for this kind of events. THe story concerns a precious and valuable diamond, which brings nothing but murder and intrigue into the lives of seemingly innocent passengers.

Dr. Watson tries to show his own deductive skills at one point, but fails miserably, in the most funny way one can imagine. Basil Rathbone still strong, stylish, persuasive, elaborate, and eloquent as true master-detective should be.

Terror by Night rises high, while having some flaws, and is rather shot, but still gives a pleasure through it's well-written plot.
