Review of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) by Nate T — 21 Dec 2016
The second and final outing in the Fox period piece Holmes series is great as well. The series moved to Universal for the next entry, where it would stay for the remainder of the 14 films; 2 at Fox, 12 at Universal.
Cast is in fine form and suspense builds well during the final two acts of the four act structured screenplay. The play that served as the basis for this film, and a stage production that Rathbone played Holmes in in 1952 - which his wife rewrote, was also the same one used for the recently discovered 1916 Sherlock Holmes film.
On Blu-Ray.
