This film is very short at just 69 minutes, and this is part of the reason why the film doesn’t work quite as well as other Holmes yarns. Despite being short, the film doesn’t have many moments of real tension and there are several instances where the story slows down to walking pace, and these can be a trifle dull. The story in this movie is rather thin, but, despite it’s lack of tension, it does have intrigue; which redeems the plotting somewhat. One thing that the film definitely does benefit from is that, like all other Universal Holmes films made in the 30′s and 40′s, it stars the great Basil Rathbone as the great detective and Nigel Bruce as the sidekick; Dr Watson. These two have a great on-screen chemistry, and you can really believe that they are old friends. The climax of the film is nice and it’s unlikely that you’ll see it coming…but that’s its main vice also; it’s somewhat unlikely. I’m becoming a big fan of Sherlock Holmes movies, so I’m rating this one a little higher than many would; but in spite of my slight bias, this is still a very good film and one that Holmes fans will not want to miss
