A request regarding the Basil Rathbone/Sherlock Holmes movies

<< < (2/2)

Alessandro Bottero:
thanks a lot

jfglade:
Thanks for the tip on the Mill Creek collection. I like some of their collections (i.e. Robin Hood) a great deal. I'll keep an eye out for the Holmes collection.

bminor:
Arthur Wonter did a fine job in a few films that still exit from the very early 1930's. They are in the public domain and can be seen on www.archive.org I don't know if these are all available at ARCHIVE.


Arthur Wontner

    * The Sleeping Cardinal (1931 film)
    * The Missing Rembrandt (1932 film)
    * The Sign of Four (1932 film)
    * The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes (1935 film)
    * Silver Blaze (1937 film)

RJBowman:
There were several Rathbone films that took place in the "modern", modern being defined as the WWII era during which the films were made. I remember one of the films beginning with a title card explaining something to the effect that Holmes is a "timeless" character that could have adventures in any era. Can anyone tell me which film this is? I have been looking for the text of that title card.

phabox (RIP):
" The Voice of Terror" was the first of the Updated Universal Holmes movies and if memory serves that title card was used there to explain the reason for him and Watson now being in the then modern setting.
