This one is very heavy handed on propaganda and You'll be mystified at Basil Rathbone's hair style here. Basil and Nigel Bruce are still enjoyable and after a "Rah-Rah" speech, Evelyn Ankers gives a decent turn of woman determined to right wrongs by whatever means possible. Only one directed by John Rawlins (the rest were helmed by Roy William Neill, who also did FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN), some of the lighting in close ups is well done. ** |
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are my favorite Holmes and Watson!
