Review of The Scarlet Claw (1944) by Kenneth L — 06 Jul 2010
A very enjoyable Sherlock movie, probably better than The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which was the original Basil Rathbone Sherlock movie. It's a straightforward mystery story that draws your suspicion a couple of different ways before you actually figure out what's going on.
It's well made, and Basil Rathbone is appropriately clever and arrogant as Holmes. Nigel Bruce's Watson is much dumber and goofier than the Watson in the books, but he does a good job of playing him that way, and it's amusing.
It's a good bt of fun, and it's really short.
