Reviews

“The film follows ... the plot of the novel fluently and with considerable ingenuity, with the exception of the now indispensable appearance of Professor Moriarty. Arthur Wontner is the only Sherlock Holmes. His playing is consistently impeccable and he seems to have just emerged from the Sidney Paget illustrations that made Sherlock Holmes universally unmistakable. "
