The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection [5 Discs] [DVD]

Based on Conan Doyle’s The Adventure of the Empty House, this “Sherlock Holmes” entry finds Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) trying to solve the case of the “Finger Murders”. Several beautiful women have been found slain, all with their right forefingers severed from their hands. The police are prepared to write off the killings as the work of a madman, but Holmes deduces that there’s a sane motive behind it all. Sure enough, the trail of evidence leads to Holmes’ perennial nemesis Professor Moriarity (Henry Daniell), who is in league with lissome female criminal Lydia (Hillary Brooke). Though it isn’t sporting to reveal Moriarity’s nefarious scheme here, it can be noted that The Woman in Green comes to a nailbiting conclusion as a hypnotized Holmes wanders precariously along the ledge of a penthouse!~Hal Erickson
