"This place is positively ghoulish."Dr Watson (Nigel Bruce) is working at a convalescent home for traumatised army officers. When his assistant (Arthur Margetson) is stabbed, Watson calls on Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone), unfortunately, by the time Holmes arrives the owner of the manor house is already dead...
The forth in the Universal series forsakes Holmes fighting the Nazi's, reverting to the tried and tested murder mysteries that brought him fame. What they give us is an entertaining thriller with Gothic overtones.
