I love watching these oldies. Thank you so much for posting these films!! :-)
Thank you for posting enjoyed this oldie
Great aren't they!!.....Rathbone was born to play Holmes!.... no-one ever came close did they...
Pammy Jones he is the best !
Saw these old flicks as a youth and then continued when I left home to work and bought my own B/W small tv. I worked afternoon-evening sifts and needed to wind down. Great memories.

Loved watching Basil as SHERLOCK HOLMES HE WAS MEANT FOR THE PART 👍👍👌👌👌
368 dislikes from people who's nostalgia is somewhat distorted? Perhaps Spongebob would be more to their liking
No doubt 🙄
I mean it’s Sherlock Holmes! With the two best actors everyone loves. 🤷♀️
But over three million views 🤩🤗💪🌌🌠💥
Let them eat cake.
I believe Moriarty sent them..
😂Well said
My all time favourite Sherlock. Remembered forever Basil. September, 2023.
These classics never get old.
Im 63yo, just discovered these SH movies.........never watched them before.
I'M HOOKED!!!!!!!
GREAT upload, NOTHING better than black and white movies!!!!
I'm 63 too but I've been watching since childhood. My mother RIP liked old movies.
Have you been hiding under a rock
These Basil Rathbone movies are my “go to” movies when I just want to relax with a great old film. They are a pleasure to watch. I’ve watched them many, many times. B &W are the best.
Charlie Chan and Mr Moto are good as well as Mr Wong
@@thomaswardlow1358 - I prefer Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan over Warner Oland. I enjoy the Perry Mason films with Warren William, and Bulldog Drummond films with John Howard, and any film with William Powell.
I love the 1930’s and 1940’s B & W films.
Likewise. Have you ever noticed how rude everyone is toward one one another in these films? lol
Likewise
Hope comments aren’t off-color
M Chapman hew very strange
I thought no one had my eccentric taste
When life gets to be too much, too often, I play the one and ONLY Sherlock Holmes movie. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce make everything better.
You made me smile.
Your right
So good to see that these old classics still hit the spot for so many people . Gives me hope that taste has not been completely lost .
Back when old white men were considered sexy. Cigarettes, alcohol and racism. Kinda glad it's lost TBH
@@observelearn2345 WHY douse raceisum have to be brought into everything?. Cant people just enjoy life as it is and love one another.?
@@observelearn2345 What are you on about moron
Nope, we're all still here and we are of all ages too.
I experienced something quite similar when I listen to a Beatles song and then go to the comments and see a comment where someone says I'm 13 and I love the Beatles or I'm 28 and I know every Beatles song by heart! It really does the heart good, doesn't it?
@@observelearn2345 we can't change what was then, we progressed from there which is of course the best thing we could have done. Sometimes humans are stupid and slow
There is something so cozy and sentimental about these films, especially taking place on a neat looking train with fancy looking booths☺️ especially that fancy looking lady 😍
Nothing better than a classic film. No movies now can compare
There are a few exceptions yet I'd have to agree with you.
Basil had the greatest voice! Just like the great Karloff! What a treat for the eyes and ears!
Those old trains look amazing, I wish they were still around today
The best Holmes and Watson by far, nobody else compares to these two greats 👌🏻
Bruce portrayed Watson as a profoundly stupid oaf. The character in the novels and short stories is an intelligent man.The Rathbone/Bruce films are literally the only adaptations that decided Dr. John Watson was a BrainDamagedAsshole.
Try jeremy Brett, he was like out of the books, fit the description and personality to a tea, better than basil
@@MyPurplestar777 😂😂😂 don’t think so
@@MrJdp1968 ah poor man, 😢
How can you possibly not love these 2 what a magical combination of characters
Bruce portrayed Watson as a MoronicBrainDamagedAsshole. That's why I don't love this "Magical" combination.
@@cindydott452
Totally agree.
I’ve always felt that Rathbone’s interpretation of Holmes was true to the stories by Conan Doyle.
But the portrayal of Watson as an idiot and a buffoon was not at all true to the original character.
The movies were entertaining, but the portrayal of Watson by Nigel Bruce was cringe inducing for fans of the books.
FINALLY WATSON UNMASKED I can’t take HIM Anymore just when I think he can’t get any Doppier then he triples my expectation please do something I can’t even look at his face that surprise look he Gives no more pass the barf bag
!!!!!!!!
Weren't they just !!
Ha! I think the coffin maker also played the sea captain in the movie with the "Good Comrades". Love recognizing the same actors in different films.
LOVE the train compartments! All that beautiful wood, the comfy couch, the sliding glass doors and the curtains.
So posh.....
Patty Glenn Lived in Britain and the trains are amazing, and each compartment has its own door to outside.
@@bobbywimsy6741 We Brits didn't want that anymore........we allowed the railways and all our other national treasures to be stolen, and then sold on the open market by those paragons of virtues, the patriotic Conservative party, the old English hearty full of gas thats farty Nigel Farage, will take us back to those good old days......
The same was true for the old ocean liners of the past like the Queen Mary. 🛳️🛳️🛳️🛳️🛳️ 😁😁😁😁😁
Me too!!!
Sherlock Holmes movies never disappoints!!!!And Dr. Watson was always so loveable....
Yeah when he got in fight with the professor. And when he made the old guy confess he stole teapots even if Holmes’s already knows the fact that there were thieves on the train. And he told the professor he solved a crime! It’s hilarious.
Scientists have agreed
Communication process y PHYSICS DEPT
Mr Holmes is hypnotized..listen to a response
It always sickens me that Universal decided that Watson was a BrainDamagedAsshole. The Rathbone/Bruce films are literally the only adaptations to portray the character as a moronic clown that could never actually be a doctor.
Simply superb ! Full credit to the director for a well crafted thriller with excellent editing . Rathbone and Bruce are brilliant. These movies never age however old they are. I can keep watching them any number of times .
People’s tastes differ I guess! But for me personally, these old movies are just beautiful. Just the accents alone fill me with nostalgia, an era long gone. 😢
So lucky to have these priceless gems available to watch. Even seeing these Sherlock Holmes movies many times, I always seem to find something new in them. Just great.
I have to say, that this is by far, the very best rendition, of "Terror by Night", on CZcams. Superb audio and visual, a fitting tribute to Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, this later entry to the series, was one of the very best put forth by Universal Studios. I've been watching these films, since I was a kid, with my Dad, now I watch them with my Son. I am 64, and I enjoy these films, more than ever! ......
Major French Central States Command I believe this is the UCLA restoration.
I find it unwatchable since Universal decided that Dr. John Watson was a BrainDamagedAsshole.
Paid for by Hugh Hefner who also Loved all 14 films w/ Bruce & Rathbone.
I wondered how the quality was so outstanding. Now please tell me, how many diamonds were there? The real one, and how many fake ones, and how many times were they switched. I just can't figure it out.
Love Basil portrayal of Sherlock, enjoy watching all his movies 🎬.
Basil is THE Sherlock Holmes.😎👍
I'm addicted to these movies. Love Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson
I wish more 20 year olds watched shows like these I feel like I’m the only of my age group that indulges in film of this sort
Oh believe me you are not
I loved these old shows as well when I was a kid. These days judging by the internet! There's more than you think" that's a good thing.
you're not alone. I'm just 23 and I love this version specially Nigel Bruce portraying Dr. Watsons and Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes is superb
I’m 14 and writing this six months later
I KNOW WHAT U MEAN....I LOVE MURDER WITH NO GORE....HORROR WITH NO GORE...JUST A GOOD STORY AND/OR MYSTERY...
Nothing like a cozy old movie, great way to spend an hour. The train setting makes it even nicer--- something about the sounds of a moving train.
YES!! i just showed my son the clips of train dated 3 yrs after my own mother was born. love the images in this!!!!
You Know....I feel the same way...Rain storms & Trains...A Particularly 'Cozy' Setting to me too...My favorite category
@@rehab5355 😊 Have you explored those Ambient videos that are designed to appeal to these exact sounds and feelings? Some of them are very cool. They're mostly sleep aids, or you can just put them on in the background while working, writing, reading, or whatever.

There are tons of others. They seem to have anything you'd want-- sound of the Millennium Falcon, sleeping on a pirate ship, jet airliner white noise, a clock-maker's workshop, and more. You've gotta love CZcams.
The sound of a moving train is so relaxing and then add a little Sherlock Holmes in the mix and I am so much more comfortable. Take care all u Sherlock Holme fans, from Rachel ov the UK Sheffield xxx
@@cyruspersian384 Best to you, Rachel! :)
I just love everything about these films the chivalry the smoking rooms the tweed Watsons buffoonery,the poker faces , the comb overs, oh and the lady in the black lace , wasn’t she a Dish...Absolutely Marvellous...
Basil and Nigel were the best!
The 'coziest' of the Rathbone Holmes movies. One setting, night, a lot of talking. Great stuff.
My Dinner with Sherlock! Inspirational! Spellbinding! 😁

Yup. Very ‘Tarantino.’
It really is incredible to note just how truly satisfying it still is to watch these Rathbone / Bruce Sherlock Holms movies even after multiple views over the many years, and, for now nearly 75 year old films...!! The Definition of True Classics.
Exactly.
Truly satisfying, spot on .
Love these old movies,Basil Rathbone wonderful actor
Even though I'm only 32 years. I love old school music and movies. Basil rathbone is the best sherlock homles. Nigel bruce is best Watson. In book. Basil rathbone look like him just like christoper reeve look superman from comic book great actors timeless movies
Nigel Bruce... Need I say more.? Brilliant!, "we can't tell that without an au-TOPSY" ... also brilliant when he's doing the "questioning". This film was his finest hour.. Though obviously great in all of these.. His whit is soooo good... "Serves them right if I got a bit tiddly" ..
The best Holmes and Watson by a mile
I’ve watched this film at least 25 times. Love it. And the part that always gets me is Lady Margaret whose son is murdered on the train and she’s far more upset about losing her Diamond than her son.
Oh ! How l miss our old British Rail carriages and the little dining cabs , wonderful memories of my youth , often used to see newlyweds going on honeymoon with the bride still in her beautiful gown , families throwing confetti on the platform. No radio, no mobile ' phones' no computers, gone all gone . Thank You for the old films and nostalgic memories.
Aren't you glad you lived then!!
The world would be better without me
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The best. 👍
Basil rathbone, what a dashingly, delectable human being!! 😘
And a sexy voice to go with him 😉 🥰
Perfect for a cold, wet and windy night. Just a small glass ofwhisky...:-)
Probably my favourite film of all time. I don't know the name of the actress that was bringing the coffin of her 'mother' to Edinburgh, but I find her to be the most beautiful lady that I've ever seen, my missus agrees with me. She, whoever she is, is absolutely beautiful. Just saying.
Rennee godfrey
The stunning Renee Godfrey!
I have watched these films many times and still enjoy them. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce have always been my favorite duo.
Hi I am the same basil & Bruce the best sherlock & Watson every nyt I watch my boxset.
These old movies are the best. They kept you on the edge of your seat. No special effects needed, you used your imagination.
Love these films. Older stuff is the best. You can watch them over and over again.
I love the sequence of Watson carrying out his own personal investigation, and himself getting interrogated by the professor under great duress. And the smile on Holmes' face after Watson's bumbling interrogation of the couple who stole a tea pot. "Serves them right if I got a bit tiddly".
I can't wait until I can use tiddly in Scrabble.
@@millionsofrecordsernieb7587
I can't wait to simply get tiddly
Glenfiditch or Port Wine 🍷
The best comfort films . Seriously cannot sleep without these 🥰Worn out 3 box sets of dvd’s over the years.
Now can listen on my iPad while going to sleep 💜
Doing the same thing with my IPad at nite. Got to have my Sherlock Holmes to fall asleep.
Gotta be basil rathbone and Nigel Bruce in black and white. They are the only Sherlock homes and doctor Watson.
me too
@@larryworkman1131 it’s amazing to me that so many people do this . You think you’re the only one 💓
@@fionacampbell3751 : Yes, Mam, they're the REAL DEAL, to be sure! Having watched this immortal duo, I can watch no other.
Holmes by the one and only Rathbone , a unique acting treat and a timeless example of how the Holmes character should be assumed on screen
Watson by the one and only Bruce. A sickening parody, portraying Dr. Watson as a MoronicBrainDamagedAsshole. This series is literally the only adaptation to show Watson as a complete and utter imbecile. It's pathetic.
No other actor is in Rathbone's league. He was incomparable. And I've seen them all.
100%
True
Jeremy Brett much superior.
@@justininfrance He was good.
I think Christopher Lee is just as good.
There's no Sherlock like Basil Rathbone! What a noble profile! And Nigel Bruce is a bunderful wombler 😉 Cheers!
"Incidentally Watson, you'll notice that prominent men throughout history have prominent noses"
Your statement has put in a nutshell the whole truth about the immortal B.Rathbone ,the only actor who played Holmes so close to the original Doyle's immortal character
@@mariaretali Don't forget Peter Jeremy William Huggins, known professionally as Jeremy Brett, who portrayed Sherlock Holmes in four Granada TV series from 1984 to 1994 (41 episodes). If you haven't watched them, please do, you will not be disappointed.
Ciao from Little Italy 🇮🇹 Montréal
I love old movies like this family friendly thank you
Love it used to watch all these old movies with mom and pop. So great to see them again🤗
I'm on a binge watching all these old sherlocks at night. Love them!
In my opinion, the best Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson..
Can't beat an old b&w film set on a train.
ah shit I so loved watching these late at night when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s. UHF channel 56 out of Cambridge Mass
These films make me feel soooooo relaxed!!!!!
And me like innocent days gone by.
You wouldn't feel quite so relaxed, if you were MURDERED, and Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson had to find your killer! 😂😂😂
Yes 👍
Clive Mattinson on the contrary
I’d love to be dead
@@jacquelinejanz8466 Being dead does have certain advantages! 👍😂 However, eventually we'll all be dead, it's just a matter of TIME!
B R was the best S H there ever was. Thanks for putting the movies on. B R is timeless ❤️🧡💛💚💙💖🤎🤍. I have watch him as SH for years (I am 76) I
Keep up the good times
Thank you, I love these old Sherlock Holmes movies. . . They are a lost classic artform. Now where is the pizza. . . LOL
Still relevant in 2022. You can't stop an excellent piece of artwork.
I can totally immerse myself in the Rathbone/Sherlock films, they are a wonderful escape from the harsh realities of the 21st C.. I love the simplicity of this fictional world even the murders are quite gentlemanly if that's at all possible. Basil is truly the epitimy of Holmes.
These movies are the best, Sherlock Holmes is on every Sunday morning at 6:30 on the movie channel free TV you don't need cable for any of these movies they're on free all the time love the entire Sherlock home series I can watch him a thousand times. Thank you so much for posting these wonderful videos.
These old films are the best classic's love these movies on a rainy sleepy day 👍
Brilliant film, all the Rathbone and Bruce Sherlock's are a great , what a duo.
They set a benchmark that in my view will never be matched for Sherlock Holmes
Will never be matched!
I have watched every Sherlock Holmes I can think of, but I always return to these two crime busters, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are What Laurel and Hardy were to the silent films.Unmatched.
!
The train appears to be going about 200 mph. 😁
Why am I obsessed with these?!?
Love these old black and white movies💝💝💝💝💝
Nigel Bruce is a comedy genius.
It was a true shame that he was chosen to portray Dr. Watson as a completely MoronicBrainDamagedAsshole. Read the novels and short stories. This was not Watson.
@@cindydott452 I've read and loved the stories many times. Still love Nigel Bruce though. Weird!
A short film with a lot of plot...,with the talents of Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce & David Hoey you have a classic!
I'm not sure just what it is about a crime thriller set on a moving train, it's something I've never been able to put my finger on it, all i know is that there is something undeniably "relaxing" (for want of a better word) about these classic movies, they Never get old. Black & white movies by their very nature are so calming especially during the horrible wet & cold weather we are blessed with here in Britain, a nice warm fire, wrapped up in a fleece blanket and a classic black & white crime thriller/horror movie and you're guaranteed a warm & cosy hour of sheer entertainment. I have this fantastic Sherlock Holmes series of films starring the brilliant Basil Rathbone already on dvd but when i saw this on youtube i had to watch it as it's been a few years since I've seen these. THANKYOU SO MUCH for uploading these classics, im sure many others will enjoy these....THEY NEVER GET OLD!!
You are 100% right, Sherlock Holmes will always be Basil Rathbone the same as Sean Connery will always be James Bond. The old Hollywood did come up with a few other good detectives. It's too bad todays Hollywood can't create another 00, 008,009. I guess the "suits" don't want to take a chance on anyone being creative. They only want to go with repeating old stuff. Only one problem the new is rarely as good as the original.
I love watching these old movies. Such gentler more innocent times. I watch them many times over. Thankyou 😊
WW2 was at that time. Not so innocent times
I just love mysteries on trains and/or old mansions films.
Once again Holmes shines like a gem, elementary my bungling Dr Watson, lol
Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite book series and movies. Im a big history nerd and love old black and white television. My favorite is the tv series with Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes, this one is awesome also. My all time favorite is Abbott and Costello though. Lol! I See this was uploaded quite a few years ago but thanks for the awesome film.
Yes, these films are great. When I was young, these are the films that kindled my interest in Holmes and the whole mystery genre.
Nigel Bruce is the absolute best actor ever when it comes to being Dr. Watson.......!!!!
Sir Basil,my dream man!
Unknown by many: Rathbone was a fine athlete. Very capable fencer.
He was also prime cricket player on Hollywood British Actors Team which met often n challenged other teams
Other members in good standing included David Niven Ronald Coleman. and such. It was known as a randy and jolly. Bunch. Played practical jokes on each other n non Brtish. Hollywood types. ;)
He was also an Officer in trenches during the First World War.
That’s awesome
I wish he could come and do my fencing. It's getting knackered
A real swashbuckler in 'Zorro'
Sherlock Holmes was the best
Love how Basil fixes his hair after almost thrown from train and fight scene. Mr. Cool under pressure
CW 12 Give that advice to Boris, and more pointedly, to our dear leader, Hair Failure.
Basil Rathbone was HOT!
Sean Connery playing James Bond fixed his hair the same way after that scuffle with the enemy in Russia with Love during the train scene. So suave
No one's ever done it better and no one ever will.....
Absolutely my friend
Nobody! Just NOBODY!
My favorite Sherlock Holmes movie. Thankyou
Really wonderful old movies of Sherlock Holmes for his deduction and Watson for his witty, innocent dialogues. Never a dull moment
Great pairing.
Great classic. So many cryptic looks from so many fine actors/actresses designed to throw us off the scent as it were. Such great suspense created on such a simple set. And, Renee Godfrey, wow, was she looking good.
One of my favorites.
I almost know the dialogue word for word in the Holmes/Rathbone films. Great movies.
Sir Arthur Canon Doyle, should have named his character, Basil Rathbone, because, THIS dude, IS Sherlock Holmes!!!!
Same for Earle Stanley Gardner and his character, Perry Mason. Upon hearing Raymond Burr read his audition lines, Gardner remarked, "He IS Perry Mason."
“At least you recovered the teapot” 🤣 Polite burns are always the most savage
This is the third or fourth time over many years that I have viewed "Terror by Night." The plot, pacing, and acting by the primary and supporting cast is of high quality entertainment. This viewing was enhanced by the high quality visual and auditory clarity of the film.
How many times have you watched it now? (5 or so years later...)
Basil Rathbone was an admirable man. After Nigel Bruce (Dr Watson) died, he apparently refused lucrative offers to reprise the role of Sherlock Holmes on the grounds that he couldn't imagine playing opposite anyone else.
These great movies were cast with many of the same supporting actors in multiple adventures. The math professor, the teapot thief, the conductor, the train attendant, the casket maker, all appeared in others. Pull up the cast lists and compare. Lot's of repeats. I guess when you've put together a compatible and versatile team, you go back to them when the studio calls for the next project.
For me Basil Rathbone was the definitive Sherlock Holmes, I first saw it in the late 1980's on my local TV station. TCM are still running them on their movie channel on the Sky Digital satellite TV platform in the UK. I have recorded all the episodes of this serial ever made from TCM in better video quality than even on here.
Good job Patrick !!
Quality remains , when price is forgotten !
People are not kidding, Renee Godfrey's "British" accent is absolutely PAINFUL. Thank goodness she wasn't talking in most of her scenes (not purely by chance I'm sure) because she was a beauty. Outstanding video quality for such an old movie.
Now the nights are drawing in,and it’s getting colder.i love watching this all cosy at night
Victoria smith What a great expression of thought. Think I’ll join you.
Victoria Smith : don't forget the hot water bottle to complete the coziness.
Hello! I'm THREE YEARS into your future! 😂😂😂
Grew up watching these with my Mom late night. Seen every one of them with Basil and Nigel.
Lestrade was a pip aswell.
Rathbone and Bruce make a great Holmes/Watson tag team. Many thanks for sharing...
As a young man, I loved these movies. Now, as an old man, I find I still do.
I love the old movies, my favourite is Arthur Askey's "The Ghost Train".
Me too
Thank you for posting this movie. Very atmospheric and witty as well. Surprisingly provided some truly frightening scenes
They always have these very classy and elegant ladies as the leads and villains.
