Another Blessed Holmes.

I was pleased to discover that there was one more Rathbone/Bruce version of Sherlock Holmes still to watch. It was made in 1942, evidently with propaganda in mind, and is called Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror. I watched half of it tonight and saved the other half for later.

I have to say that the customary deduction-by-footprints is the daftest of all, and by the half way point the identity of the secret Nazi agent is obvious. But the style is impeccable, as ever.
