sherlock Holmes' fatal hour (1931)

aka the sleeping cardinal.
"For a long time I've been conscious of some power, a deep organisation that stands beyond the law."
Threatened with exposure, a card cheat, Ronald Adair (Leslie Perrins) is blackmailed into joining a counterfeit ring masterminded by Professor Moriarty. His sister (Jane Welsh) fears for him, and engages her friend Dr Watson (Ian Fleming) to investigate, and he brings along his friend Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Wontner).
Stilted, and mannered, a product of its age, and not one that has aged well. Crime Drama, Leslie Hiscott,
