Review of The Scarlet Claw (1944) by Chris M — 20 Aug 2010
The Scarlet Claw is one of the best of the Rathbone/Bruce films as its excellently atmospheric with an intresestingly macabre and goulishly memorable story (although has no basis in any of Arthur Conan Doyles stories) Nigel Bruces' bumbling Watson (who for me makes these films) is also on top form in this one.
I'd reccomened this to any one interested in the Sherlock Holmes although purists please note thiat it isn't an Arthur Conan Doyle story. I'd also reccommed this if you like film noir or B&W 1930's/40's Universal Horror movies.
