The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Sherlock Holmes solves the mystery of a supernatural hound threatening the life of a Dartmoor baronet.
Basil Rathbone's first appearance as Sherlock Holmes is in a painstaking studio production which achieves good atmosphere and preserves the flavor if not the letter of the book but is let down by a curious lack of pace.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Richard Greene, Wendy Barrie, Lionel Atwill, Morton Lowry, John Carradine, Barlowe Borland, Beryl Mercer, Ralph Forbes, E.E. Clive, Eily Malyon and Mary Gordon.

The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes
Moriarty sends Holmes on a false trail while he plots to steal the Crown jewels.
Highly engaging piece of Hollywood Victoriana, with all the elements perfect except for an unconvincing plot.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, George Zucco, Ida Lupino, Alan Marshal, Terry Kilburn, E.E. Clive, Henry Stephenson and Mary Gordon.

Sherlock Holmes And The Voice Of Terror
Sherlock Holmes unmasks a Lord Haw Haw in the war cabinet.
Fairly risible first entry into the modernized series, with a Hollywood view of London and a singular haircut for the star.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Hillary Brooke, Reginald Denny, Evelyn Ankers, Montagu Love, Thomas Gomez and Mary Gordon

Sherlock Holmes And The Secret Weapon
Sherlock Holmes saves a stolen bombsight from Nazi agents.
Slightly stiff modernized Holmes story with amusing ingredients.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Lionel Atwill (as Moriarty), Dennis Hoey, Karen Verne, William Post Jnr and Mary Gordon.

Sherlock Holmes In Washington
Sherlock Holmes flies west to prevent Nazi spies from grabbing a microfilmed document concealed in a match folder.
Moderate adventure in the modernized series, with a good beginning and end but a sag in the middle.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Henry Daniell, George Zucco, Marjorie Lord, John Archer and Gavin Muir.

Sherlock Holmes Faces Death
Weird murders occur in a convalescent home for retired officers.
One of the better entries in this rather likeable modernized series; fairly close to the original story except the events don't make a lot of sense.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Hillary Brooke, Milburn Stone, Halliwell Hobbes, Arthur Margetson, Dennis Hoey, Gavin Muir, Frederick Worlock, Olaf Hytten, Gerald Hamer, Mary Gordon and Vernon Downing.

Sherlock Holmes And The Spider Woman
Sherlock Holmes mystery in which the sleuthing hero is on the trail of a woman who drives gamblers to commit suicide and then pocket their winnings.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Gale Sondergaard, Dennis Hoey, Vernon Downing & Alec Craig.

The Scarlet Claw
Grisly revenge murders take place in the fog-bound Canadian village of Le Mort Rouge.
Possibly the best modernized Sherlock Holmes series, with a plot hastily borrowed from 'The Hound Of The Baskervilles'.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Miles Mander, Gerald Hamer, Paul Cavanagh, Kay Harding and Arthu Hohl.

The Pearl Of Death
When a valuable pearl is stolen, Sherlock Holmes has only his cleverness to blame; but he redeems himself by trapping 'The Creeper'.
An amusing picturisation of Doyle's 'The Six Napoleons', with the addition of a horror figure; it plays very well and is certainly among the best in the series.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Dennis Hoey, Miles Mander, Rondo Hatton and Evelyn Ankers.

The House Of Fear
Members of a club are murdered one by one.
A knotty problem for Sherlock Holmes, but rather tediously unraveled. Despite the orange pips it owes virtually nothing to Conan Doyle.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Dennis Hoey, Aubrey Mather, Paul Cavanagh, Holmes Herbert and Gavin Muir.

Pursuit To Algiers
Sherlock Holmes guards the young king of Ruritania on a sea voyage.
After an amiably lunatic first reel, this settles down as one of the dullest of the series, but it never entirely taxes the patience.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Martin Kosleck, Marjorie Riordan, Rosalind Ivan, John Abbott, Frederick Worlock and Martin Lowry.

Terror By Night
Sherlock Holmes recovers a stolen jewel and solves a murder or two aboard a speeding train.
An amusing entry in the modernized series despite some bad support acting and hilarious interposed shots of the supposed scenery between London and Edinburgh.
Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Dennis Hoey, Alan Mowbray, Renee Godfrey, Bill Bevan, Mary Forbes and Frederick Warlock.

An important Note To USA & Canadian Buyers

 

( American and Canadian buyers should note that although the discs are Multi-Region formatted and will work in Region 1 format they are actually encoded for PAL transmission, therefore it is the buyer’s/ potential buyer’s responsibility to check their equipment is compatible before purchasing - as refunds will not be given due to Copy & Watch being possible.

 

With this in mind most modern/ quality NTSC players in America and Canada will still play PAL discs all the same - but this is a decision the overseas buyer will have to make.

 

Also, should you really wish to purchase but think that your standard DVD player won’t be compatible then the DVD’s will still work in any PC DVD-ROM drives worldwide. )
