Fabulous. No profanities, car chases and endless violence. Instead long sentences with words pronounced properly.

no women with tattoos or piercings.
what a relief
Amen to that. Now no one has the time or inclination to use a multi syllable words. Movies are spectacular on So many levels. I especially enjoy.the earliest ones!

I watched Sherlock Holmes movies every Saturday night for nearly a year.
They taught me Vocabulary, sentence structure, punctuation, good manners and the importance of eloquence with a sense of humor. Wholeheartedly I would urge anyone seeking a life in public relations, diplomacy, or advertising to watch this series .
Its a shame that these later ones are a mess of Americanisms and shocking so called British accents
@@gowdsake7103 I agree, although love all 14 films... its a shame that they where both...
A. Filmed during the war, as it ment tons of "Hey everyone! Don't Hitler suck" messages. And...
B. Set in the 1940s, the ones set in the late 1880s where better imo
You are so right, GEORGE E. Schaub! Their language proficiency and speaking delivery are enviable, indeed. I grew up watching old black and white reruns of Perry Mason, every day after school. I enjoyed them, but didn't appreciate the writing excellence until I rewatched them in my forties. How gratifying it was to hear Perry Mason's language so rich in legal terminology and flawlessly correct grammar, qualities that escaped me when I was ten! The acting may be corny and contrived, but the language and social graces in some of these old films are really admirable. Thank you for drawing attention to it!
@@deborahb4830 Ditto and am quite sure your comments are not irrelevant, immaterial, and...
@GEORGE E Schaub theres only 14 of them, what did you do for the rest of the year?
I've read that Basil Rathbone was highly decorated during WW1. In my opinion he was a Class act with tremendous character.
Yeah, I just read about that. He became a captain in World War I. Received the military cross for heroism. Was a British fencing champion.
@@aspenrebel yes I heard he taught errol Flynn how to fence
Of the seemingly countless actors who’ve portrayed the great detective, Rathbone’s portrayal is the most memorable. Employing flawless diction and the best in British values, namely dignity and humility, Rathbone’s Holmes is a timeless and utterly accessible hero.
He played a WW1 flyer in a movie
@@aspenrebel He would have been a great patriot , refusing the blitz immigration!
I used to watch these with my beloved Dad. Today when I watch I feel a great connection to him, and also to the world as it once was.
Norma Salamanca: Fine sentiments.
@@Stardustpal25 I watched with my dad too. What beautiful memories.
God bless your heart lassie! 😇🙏❤️👁
Me too, but we watched every Sunday after mass. It started my love of murder mystery
I watched them with my Dad as well
I loved Basil Rathbone's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes! He was the best ever to play the role.
And Sherlock himself; what a sleuth! What a human...
@@sancho8521

I'll take Jeremy Brett. And, I don't care for how they cast Nigel Bruce as a buffoon; there's nothing like his behavior in the books. But I agree that Basil is at least #2...

@@stephenzanichkowsky4434 Agree with you about the stupid Watson character. I remember reading somewhere that Rathbone didn't like how he had to often condescend to Watson. It's not like you have to put a fool next to a genius to make the genius look like a genius.
Absolutely love these movies. Basil Rathbourne and Nigel Bruce are perfectly cast. Nothing better than them. I like that there's no profanity, nudity, extreme violence just great acting and writing.
Agree 100%.

I’m hooked on these old Sherlock Holmes films with Basil Rathbone. Without CZcams some of these would be impossible for me to find
The series isn't impossible to find, it's on bluray, on amazon.
I am 48 years old and remember as a child watching these old Basil Rathbone movies they were and still are great films and Basil was the best Holmes ever
I'm 73 but red them in library as a kid
sadly he was paired with the worst watson ever! watson in the books was never a boundless buffoon with no common sense or direction. i hated this watson throughout all the movies but the Holmes was great! except he treated watson like his slave and i did not like that part either!
As a villein he dripped venom. See him in Captain Blood and Robin Hood, possibly possibly his two best roles.
Basil Rathbone was great as a narrator in "Time to remember".
@@MrGoat47 Could you red them?
I am German and have read (almost) all Sherlock Holmes short stories - most of them on a book reader in hospital - two times three weeks in hospital are really boring. I think it is a rather strange idea to transfer Holmes to WWII.
However, I am really impressed by the language and the acting. I am hopelessly anglophile and I enjoy listening to old fashioned clear and elegant English.
Propaganda to win the war use all great British icons to part of the war effort not so strange
Remember that Conan Doyle was writing Sherlock Holmes stories until 1927, only twelve years before the start of the Second World War. Although those stories were set in earlier times, the latest story featuring Holmes was set in 1914, 25 years before the start of the Second World War. That would be like having a character last seen in 1999 appearing in a film today. Not a great leap for the imagination. Nobody bothers about James Bond being out of date - he first appeared in print in 1952!
Guten Tag Rainer. I used to have a dear German friend who worked for Siemens. We were penpals and would talk on Skype and Tagged. He has beautiful horses. Loved the pictures he sent me. I hope you get better soon. I would tell him ich liebe dich.
His name was Rainer also.
Watched these films at my grans on the weekend. ..the scarlet claw scared me to death...oh to be 10 again ..now I'm 50 and rewatching them is pure nostalgia. ..my gran is long gone and into the mists of time these memories fade...but boy oh boy they were good times while they lasted...

Fear not , dear friend : she waits in Heaven above - and you'll meet again some sunny day
The scarlet claw frightened me to death . Absolutely brilliant

What wonderful films, love Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
No bad language no sex scenes , just great stories packed with good actors.
Shame we don’t have some one like him in real life.
*no gay sex scenes
Virginia, just good acting. Loved these films.
I agree, the f word every sentence these days, and its the same with books.
And the women didn't have multicoloured hair, multiple piercings and weren't smothered in tattoos.
Truly fun propaganda films; Rathbone provide a unique take on the opium addict detective. Yes - Holmes was an opium addict in the original books written in 1887. If you look closely, the films are littered with hints of Holmes drug use. It was part of the beauty and charm of the character. But, unfortunately, today's fans prefer a sanitized, white washed version of the world. With all the humanity removed from art; "No .... sex" - How completely ridiculous and sad. These are wonderful old films; ridiculous, uneducated comments not withstanding.
Nigel Bruce's facial expressions are priceless, his mumbling to himself humorously in a WC Fields sort of way, and the body language so amusingly British. The perfect Sherlock Holmes duo---Rathbone and Bruce.
As much as this Watson’s bumbling gets on my nerves, I’d rather watch these two than any of the others
What is the deal with Holmes' hair in this one? It's he yeung to look like a caesar or Roman? Or just hiding a receding hairline? It looks ridiculous and tacky. But I love all the Basil Rathbone movies.
WC Fields! Know what you mean. He plays golf, picks up a frog that’s in the way ,looks at it, says in that talk to yourself tone, “that reminds me, got to pay alimony.”
I kinda think that he was Holmes' muscle. Watson always carried a gun and even shot and killed bad guys.
@@imahandful4605 I think the idea is that he's an eccentric intellectual. Concentrating on his cases too much to be bothered with hairstyles.
I suffer from severe depression and an anxiety disorder, medications help but not consistently these films are a huge help when the medicine doesn't work so well.
Takes one mind off their problems.

When I watch a movie made 1940-1945 I always imagine our soldiers watching them during their R&R breaks.
Artists made these movies, masters of light and shadow, creators of mystery and suspense. Acting that is intense, dialogue well delivered and precise. Plots that intrigue and draw the viewer into the story. And lastly unashamedly patriotic and full of nobility and expressing values like honor and courage. No attempt at scintillating or shocking the viewer but rather poise and class. They truly, "don't make 'em like this anymore."
Criminal Minds is just as good.
@@bobbalu170 ...eh kinda....
Such profound while very true words indeed.
@@bobbalu170 Criminal Minds highlights evil, fear and hate, which is the opposite of Sherlock Holmes (well, to be fair, I fastforward through the parts where the criminal is doing their speel. In these case, I fast forwarded through all of the "voice of terror" broadcasts except for a few minutes of the first one.
Very well said, my good man!
Have the box set of all 14 of these marvellous films and seeing as today’s tv is either reality rubbish, or people trying to flog rubbish from their attic, I watch them all the time. Basil and Nige were a wonderfully entertaining double-act and it’s nice to see films with a plot.
Sounds great to me... i rarely watch TV anymore... DVDs FTW!!
Who's watching in 2020 and forever brilliant movies from Sherlock Holmes!?👍
I’M WATCHING IN 2022. 👍🏼👽
I'm watching in 2023 and loving every minute of it!! 👍
PS - The truth is out there...
Greetings from 2023 , my friend - still watching , still enjoying , still learning
January is "Sherlock Holmes" month for me. I watch all 14 episodes during this month. I never tire of watching Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the fine cast of regulars. My wife laughs at me because I know much of the dialogue before it is spoken.
Basil Rathbone a real life military hero. And what a voice ✅ R.I.P. 🙏
Yes his voice is amazing
When first married , there was no extra money. There was Sherlock and Watson once a week , and repeats were never a problem to find also. Movie night at home with these characters was special time made for each other and to this day are a joy for us
Basil is the Sherlock Holmes for me. I love his smooth and confident way about him. Nigel is excellent. Both are greatly missed.
Might explain why Disney’a version of Sherlock is Basil: The Great Mouse Detective (1986). And there is a shot in that movie where the REAL Sherlock and Watson are in the building above their little mousehole, and they used old audiorecordings of Basil Rathbone. Good movie, worth a watch.
@TheNorthernSkeptic It's one of my absolute all time favorite movies especially in the animated genre...... I watch it often as well....... Great memories and still a great movie.......
@@johnconnor5823 Always nice to hear from a fellow «good old movie» connoisseur. As for these old Sherlock movies, I binge them at least twice a year. To find them on CZcams is a marvel as my old dvds are indeed getting old.
This movie postdates the Battle of Britain, The Blitz, and Dunkirk by two years, 1940 v 1942, but is two years ahead of D-day in 1944. So the English are now in what Churchill characterised as "the end of the beginning".

Totally agree. People should be watching during quarantine. As it is very good entertainment
I can imagine such a radio broadcast at that time would really have been terrifying
Don't forget it was based on and inspired by actual broadcasts by 'Lord Haw Haw' or William Joyce who broadcast Nazi propaganda to the UK from Germany during the Second World War.The broadcasts opened with "Germany calling, Germany calling", spoken in an affected upper-class English accent!
Basil Rathbone made this role his own. Many played the famous Sherlock Holmes role, But none came close to the crime Busting Sleuth as this man !
Have you seen Jeremy Brett as Sherlock?
I know it's all personal preference, but I really enjoyed that series from the 1980-90s with Edward Hardwicke as Dr Watson.
@@onepunch9203 Good shout ! Yes my wife and I thought he was one of the best, Its just that I grew up watching the old B-W stuff, and it just happened to be Basil Rathbone, each to there own I guess.
@@onepunch9203Basil Rathbone is the best - but , Jeremy Brett was a worthy successor
I grew up during the '50s and 60s; I'd run home from school just to watch the Sherlock Holmes series, often repeated. Basil Rathbone portrayed the Sheriff of Nottingham in the movie; he was a superb fencer and had to carry others during fencing scenes. But once I saw Jeremy Brett... I was hooked to his series. He was the ultimate (yes, the very best) Sherlock Holmes, and his Dr Watson never acted like a bungling, forgetful stooge, after all, Watson was once a boxer and former officer in the Royal Army.
I was born in 1930 and spent a lot of time watching great black and white films especially Sherlock Holmes and loved them! Now in 2023 they still have a magic about them. Thank you for so much pleasure they give me!

I got hooked the Holmes movies when I was twelve. During the summer our ABC station had a morning mystery movie show. Along with Holmes they showed film noir and campy melodramas. Fried eggs, biscuit and gravy, thick-cut bacon, chocolate milk, and a Sherlock Holmes movie, pure joy.
Scrambled eggs for me! Lol. You are so right, pure joy
“The British people are not so easily panicked “. What irony considering how we are living today...

Diluted by the communists. Like something out of 1984, where up is declared to be down.
Depends what Tory rags you read.
I always thought these movies were made in England. That's how convincing Bruce and Rathbone were. Superior to any other Sherlock Holmes movies.
The early ones were but the production company was American and they used more and more American actors and moved production to the US as they made more films. Rathbone and Bruce are British actors.

I have actually developed a preference for the radio dramas.
So, so, true 👍.
WOW!! Evelyn was one gorgeous woman!!
I've seen all the Rathbone/Bruce Holmes films dozens of times and I'll watch em a dozen more. They were the greatest!!
Wonderful wartime, Sherlock Holmes, film. Amazing that they could still accomplish such feats of entertainment, while in the midst of war.
Bravo! To the men that fought to preserve freedom.

He would certainly have been on 'Ze List' for arrest when the Germans invaded.@@ivans.191
Wow! This is a great WW2 period piece. It's message (in 1942) is from a Britain whose victory was not, yet, assured. Brilliant! Thanks for posting.
You mean the victory of the British Banks, Britain lost their empire and Britons lost their nation.
Great, great Sherlock Holmes movie, "Sherlock Holmes and The Voice of Terror" (1942). Nobody could recite Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's superb "East Wind" speech by Holmes at the end of "His Last Bow" like Basil Rathbone! I wish Rathbone had renewed his film and radio contracts to play Holmes many more times than he did! Although in fairness to Rathbone, he played Holmes in 14 films (2 for 20th Century Fox and 12 for Universal Studios) and on approximately 200 radio shows and two or three times on or off-Broadway in a play. But he was understandably fed up with being typecast as Holmes. He and Nigel Bruce were the very best Holmes and Watson!
nearly 100 years later and these two actors live on just as Charlie Chan's Sidney Toler (The best Charlie Chan in my opinion) , the degenerated of the past 30 years no one will remember them a century from now !

You've got to love the closing lines in these.
_"There's an east wind coming, Watson._
_"What? I don't think so. Looks like another warm day._
_"Good old Watson. The one fixed point in a changing age. There's an east wind coming all the same. Such a wind has never blew on England, yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson. And a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind, nonetheless. And a greener, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared."_
Evelyn Ankers ("Kitty") was 23 years old here and appeared in dozens of movies at Universal. She was also in another Sherlock Holmes movie, "The Pearl of Death," two years after this.
Rathbone was 49 and Bruce was 46.
... and yet Bruce looks much, much older :)
"has blew"? Grammar? has blown
An absolutely wonderful movie. Top-notch acting all the way around especially by Thomas Gomez, the delivery of his lines and his facial expressions towards the end are just magical. Truly this is what great acting is supposed to be. What a difficult point in history England was experiencing in fact the whole world during the time of the making of this in 1942. Here’s hoping that Darkside is never to return unfortunately we’re facing that now this country.
Reginald Denny is a shock to be the bad guy, here. He was the comic in the Bulldog Drummond movies and he was a clever detective in, The Lady In Scarlet. It was his best.
Poor Patricia Farr died very young a couple of years later from Cancer of the Pancreas. Good movie.
To Rathbone's credit he was for some time disappointed that his portrayal of Holmes typecast him and was quite despondent about the effect on his acting career despite having been a doyen of the theatre for years. I have read however that he bumped into a fan once who congratulated him and Rathbone graciously explained his feelings only to be told that these films had helped a great many people through the most difficult of times. After that encounter, apparently, Rathbone never complained about his superlative portrayal of Doyle's detective. And let's not forget he was a hero of WW1 having been awarded the Military Cross for bravery!
Thomas Gomez is one of my favourite actors. I first saw him in Key Largo and was like 'Who is that sexy man?!'. He was in a lot of mediocre films, but a couple of great ones too.

Kitty was played by Evelyn Ankers who was born in Chile to British parents. She married Richard Denning. This movie was made in Hollywood. Evelyn had one child, a daughter who grew up in Hawaii. Her husband is most famous for playing Mr North in Mr and Mrs North. She never divorced.
Nice to hear of a marriage that lasted, and she was a lovely looking woman.
@@johnmccormick3254 yes John, I was thinking the exact same, and-......she is indeed a lovely looking woman.
Denning was a semi-regular on the original Hawaii Five-0 as the governor of Hawaii.
Can’t whack Bazza and Nige. Neither men were born in England but were the quintessential Englishmen. What I liked about both men was despite living in America, they kept their British nationalities. These films were shown on BBC2 around 5 in the afternoon on Fridays when I was a kid, back when television was entertaining and not full of politics or reality tv. These films are special. Nice one uploader.
These films bring back so many memories for me - they used to be broadcast after children's hour ended on BBC1 in the afternoons. There would be Blue Peter and then a cartoon such as Rhubarb and Custard or The Perishers, then we turned over to BBC2 to watch the old films such as Charlie Chan, Sherlock Holmes, or Will Hay/George Formby/Old Mother Riley comedies. My father used to come home from work about half way through and start watching. If he really liked it, my mother would be asked to delay supper until it finished!
@@Londonfogey remember them well. Will Hay/Moore Marriott/Graham Moffat were brilliant. ‘Oh Mr Porter’ is brilliant. Loved Charlie Chan, Mr Moto, Bulldog Drummond, Rocket Man and the Bob Hope/Paulette Goddard films ‘The Cat and the Canary’ and ‘The Ghostbreakers’.

I think Basil Rathbone is the absolute best at playing Holmes. The way he portrayed the Holmes character seems to make the best sense for the brilliance of the ‘deduction detective’. Jerome Brett does a great job of Holmes, I enjoy his portrayal of Holmes as well. But as someone said in their commentary Rathbone was born to play Holmes. I concur. Rathbone is a brilliant actor in this role. I don’t think there’s any other if the many Holmes that comes close to being better.
Totally agree.
I absolutely agree!! Basil Rathbone is the Best Sherlock Ever!!! 😊
I agree, and in the 50's and 60's I watched them in fuzzy analog television style. The nearest station that would play old movies had a tower in Trafalgar Indiana and we live in a city 100 miles away. But it was an exciting event for us when a Sherlock Holmes movie would be played.
It`s Jeremy Brett.

There's an east wind coming all the same. Such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind none the less. And a greener, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm is cleared."

Love Holmes and Watson. Binge watching S Holmes movies as well as tv show ONE STEP BEYOND. Great way to pass the time during covid. Thanks for showing.
Happy New Year Diane
I find it amazing that there are several actors have been in more than one Sherlock Holmes movie.
The print is absolutely beautiful. Like it was shot last week! 👏👏👏👏
Spectacular film. Excellent cast. Rathbone is perfect (though, he is always a bit of a ham actor). Bruce as Dr. Watson is terrific, I so enjoy the way he mumbles to himself. As a team of actors they are perfection. There are many great moments in this excellently written script. I particularly enjoyed the one when Holmes and Watson are leaving 221B Baker street and Sherlock takes his Deer Stalker hat from the coat tree. Dr. Watson says, "Holmes, you promised." Holmes replaces the Deer Stalker and takes his Fedora instead.This for me is brilliant. While the Deer Stalker is perfect, as a descriptive in the novels, in the 1940's films it would appear as somewhat clownish. This simple dialogue suggests and explains that. A moment of great film is worth a thousand words. Evelyn Akers, as Peggy, is altogether wonderful in this giving a fine performance, and beautiful as well The cinematography is excellent, and often powerful, in this excellent print. There is a series of extreme close ups of the characters faces, a stunning device. Powerful on my computer screen. Imagine them gigantic on the full screen in a movie theatre. Wow! Double wow!! That would knock me out of my seat, and I prefer to sit in the last row. Did I like this film? You bet I did!
Ann excellent film. Light and dark in black and white. Lovely Kitty, hardface villains and heroes. One of the best of the series with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
These are great shows and thanks for showing them.
I love these old Sherlock Holmes films. The stories and books are fabulous and classic as well.
CLASSIC FILMS!
This is a good movie! Watch it many times! Henry Daniell's role was the realest one of the council!
A true classic in every sense of the word.
Basil Rathbone giving thr final east wind speech with the patriotic music building is perfect and warms my cynical heart.
i am 150 years old and i still remember this movie like yesterday
😏
Love these movies. Best actor for Sherlock Holmes
How is it that the most beautiful actresses seem to have come from the 30's and 40's? The Holmes movies are full of them!
Because women looked feminine
There are still plenty of 'feminine' women. The style in the 30's and 40s was superlative though... @@paulconway384
That was so enjoyable to watch. Something about these old films that are missing in today's fancy, expensive films. Happy Trails
Absolutely love these movies. Never did understand Holmes hair style though, so very different from the earlier styles.
Ich liebe diese alten Filme.Kein Vergleich zu dem Müll ,der heutzutage läuft
Love these old movies 30s 40s 50s 60s! A Genre almost all of their own...
I’m used to hearing these on the radio! Lol Just as great, truly timeless classics
Just imagine what a spirit lifting movie this was for the English people at a time of the darkest hours for England!
Audiences derided this film.
A simple, straight forward plot without special effects. Perfect cup of tea for me
“What do you make of it Watson?” “Bullet wound!” “Congratulations “, lol! 😂 The interplay between those two is unequalled anywhere in film. And they were close off camera as well, I read recently. I first watched some of these old classics when I was a kid in the sixties and they used to play on TV on Saturday afternoons. I recently rediscovered them on CZcams. I never seem to tire of watching them.
I never get tired of watching these
ive been hooked on sherlock holmes since i discovered them a year ago have been enjoying them over and over again every day basil rathbone is sherlock holmes
This is one of the best, in Sherlock Holmes mysteries !
Loving these. Reminds me of Sundays in front of the telly at my Nanna's.
Great times.
I love that use of footage from The Invisible Man (1933) at about 2:30 in to show the train wreck.
