Movie Reviews of Sherlock Holmes Collection Volume 3 (Dressed to Kill/In Pursuit to Algiers/Terror By Night/The Woman in Green)
Movie Review: I'm sure that Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes will be great fun, but don't sell these old classics short
Summary: 5 Stars
With four high-concept plots anchoring each of these four final "Sherlock Holmes" movies to feature Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, viewers are perhaps not getting the depth of mood and story of the previous installments. But at least the high concepts are fun and pretty interesting:
"The Woman in Green" features a serial killer who removes a finger from each of his victims. How does he tie in with the femme fatale of the title?
"Pursuit to Algiers" pits Holmes and Watson against a variety of assassins out to kill Holmes' client, a heir to a European throne. And it's all set on a cruise ship!
"Terror By Night" is a classic-style whodunit set on a speeding train. Hey, if the tight quarters of a ship made for a good story before, why not try another conveyance?
"Dressed to Kill" features a race against time, between Holmes and a deadly crime ring, to procure four music boxes containing a secret that could bring down the U.K.
My grumbling at the outset is essentially nitpicking. These four nicely restored installments are essential viewing for Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts, and brought the series to a close in perfectly fine form. While the best of the Rathbone/Bruce Holmes epics remain the two initial Fox movies ("The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes") and the middle installments of the subsequent Universal series (basically the ones included in volume 2 of the Universal Holmes films, the volume just prior to the set discussed here), these four short movies- each an efficient 65 minutes or so- shouldn't be missed.
