Basil Rathbone – Sherlock Holmes: Dressed to Kill

Based on the prolific Sir Arthur Conan Doyle mysteries, Sherlock Holmes in Dressed to Kill was the last time Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce appeared as the Holmes and Watson partnership. This time the inmate of a British prison has incorporated stolen Bank of England engraving plates into a series of music boxes he has made. Several criminals are out to find them, including the deadly Hilda Courtney. Holmes must find the boxes first, when the innocent purchasers of the boxes start to be murdered. Rathbone and Bruce turn in their customarily winning performances and a delicious wicked turn from Patricia Morison helps to enliven things.
