Review of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) by Mara P — 04 May 2011
The first of the Rathbone films to pit Holmes and Moriarty against one another, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is still a bit of a step down from The Hound of the Baskervilles. I absolutely love the courtroom introduction of the archvillain and George Zucco is an excellent Moriarty, but his plot to outwit The Great Detective before he can retire to Abstract Science meanders a bit too much in the middle.
Still, it's worth it for the opening and the tumbling climax. VF.
