Good Sherlock Holmes movie with nice settings , thrills , plot twists , suspense , unanswered mysteries and an outstanding , first-class weird villain . This is a top-drawer and intriguing film with horror elements in Universal style , freely based on the splendid novels by Arthur Conan Doyle . Nice atmosphere similar to classic filmed in 1939 The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sidney Landfield with Basil Rathbone , Nigel Bruce y Richard Greene . Magnificent Basil Rathbone's interpretation , considered to be the best and most authentic Sherlock Holmes . Rathbone plays Holmes as an intelligent , obstinate , broody, pipesmoking sleuth , his acting is similar to subsequent actors as Peter Cushing and Jeremy Brett for TV or Nicol Williamson (Seven-per-cent-solution) or Christopher Plummer (Murder by decree) . As usual , Dr. Watson plays his botcher, bungler or clumsy partner , masterfully incarnated by Nigel Bruce . They are well accompanied by notorious secondaries as Paul Cavanagh , Miles Mander and Ian Wolfe , but this time doesn't appears neither Inspector Lestrade , nor Mrs Hudson . The movie has a creepy atmosphere specially when is developed on the moor where appears a bizarre phosphorescent being .
It contains spooky and murky cinematography by George Robinson . As well as eerie and creepy musical score by Paul Sawtell . This atmospheric motion picture was compellingly directed by Roy William Neill who shot efficiently various episodes of the attractive series . Neill directed in his ordinary style , in fact he was regular filmmaker -along with John Rawlins- of the stunning series , such as : Dressed to Kill, Terror by Night , Pursuit to Algiers , The Woman in Green, The House of fear , Sherlock Holmes in Washington , Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon , Scarlet Claw , among others . Rating : Better than average. 7/10. The picture will appeal to fans of the excellent series starred by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, resulting to be one of the best episodes.
