- The Woman in Green is a 1945 American Sherlock Holmes film starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, with Hillary Brooke as the woman of the title and Henry Daniell as Professor Moriarty. The film is not credited as an adaptation of any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes tales, but several of its scenes are taken from "The Final Problem" and "The Adventure of the Empty House."
When several women are murdered and their forefingers severed, Holmes and Watson are called into action, but Holmes is baffled by the crimes at the start. Widower Sir George Fenwick (Paul Cavanagh), after a romantic night alone with his girlfriend Lydia Marlowe (Hillary Brooke), is hypnotized into believing that he is responsible for the crimes. He is certain that he is guilty after he awakes from a stupor and finds a woman's forefinger in his pocket. His daughter comes to Holmes and Watson without realizing that Moriarty's henchman is following her. She tells Holmes and Watson that she found her father burying a forefinger under a pile of soil. She has dug up the forefinger and shows it to them.
Fenwick is then found dead, obviously murdered by someone to keep him from talking. Holmes theorizes that Moriarty, who was supposed to have been hanged in Montevideo, is alive and responsible for the crimes. Watson is then called to help a woman who fell over while feeding her pet bird. He leaves, and minutes later, Moriarty appears and explains that he faked the phone call so he could talk to Holmes. He then leans one of the chairs back, obviously signaling someone. Holmes sees an open window in an empty house. When Moriarty leaves, Watson arrives. Holmes explains what Moriarty did, notices that a window shade that was shut in the empty house is now open, and tells Watson to investigate.
Inside the empty house Watson, looking through the window, believes that he sees a sniper shoot Holmes in his apartment. Holmes then appears at the house and explains that he put a bust of Julius Caesar there because of the bust's resemblance to his own face (Holmes realized that as soon as he sat there, Moriarty would have him killed). Inspector Gregson takes the sniper, a hypnotized ex-soldier, away, but the sniper is later killed on Holmes's doorstep.
Holmes now realizes that Moriarty's plan involves: 1) killing women and cutting off their forefingers, 2) making rich, single men believe they have committed the crime, 3) using this fake information to blackmail them, and 4) counting on the victims being too terrified to expose the scheme.
He befriends Lydia, whom he had seen with Sir George at a restaurant, suspecting that is she in cahoots with Moriarty. She takes him to her house, where he is apparently hypnotized. Moriarty enters and has one of his men cut Holmes with a knife to verify that he is hypnotized. He then tells Holmes to write a suicide note (which he does), walk out of Lydia's apartment onto the ledge, and jump to his death.
Watson and the police then appear and grab the criminals. Holmes then reveals he was never really hypnotized, but secretly ingested a drug to make him appear as if he had been hypnotized and also insensitive to pain. Moriarty then escapes from the hold of a policeman and jumps from the top of Lydia's house to another building. However, he hangs onto a pipe which becomes loose from the building, causing him to fall to his death.
This is the third Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes film in which Moriarty dies. In all three films, he falls to his death. He is always presumed dead until he turns up in the next film.

Holmes and Watson, Rathbone and Bruce. Perfect casting. These are treasures of an era forever left behind in cinema.
Amen!
Rathbone and Bruce ARE Holmes & Watson period!
@@benlujan288 personally I think Brett was the perfect Sherlock .
But I like all of them really.
As long as it is Sherlock I’m in!!
I don’t like that this is an American production, the British makes them better and off course more authentic.
The time period is off, but then again so it is in the amazing cumberbatch Sherlock and I love that series so much!
Hillary Brooke was Brilliant as well!
OMG I love the dialogue in these old movies. The way Holmes says 'thank uu' is priceless.
CLASSIC FILMS!
Rathbone seems to have jumped right out of Sir A.C.Doyle's novels to incarnate Holmes in a way so far unparelleled ; RIP dearest Basil , you have and always be Holmes all the way
Phenomenal number of ads. In just the first 30 minutes there were at LEAST 12 infomercials. Then, just a couple of minutes later, there was an infomercial, followed by 2 seconds of the movie and then yet another infomercial. Jeez. Excellent movie.
i love these two guys i pay so much for cable and never hardly watch it...thank you this a great treat
Who needs cable? I get the new from newspapers. Cable has so many annoying ads.
I've been debating whether to go back to cable or not. I don't mind some of the TV shows, and I have learned some things from both the shows and the commercials, but the commercials for one of the cell phone companies is driving me away. I mean, really!? The actors and actresses they have are being told, via script, to play on the stupidity of those old and gray. It no longer works. So I guess I'll get it and then try to remember how to find, and record, things I actually like.
This was an excellent film. I have always been a fan of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holmes and Watson. Sherlock Holmes is a favorite fictional character of mine. I thoroughly enjoy the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the
many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage,
screen, radio and TV adaptations.
I love how protective Sherlock is towards Watson.😉
I love the old Holmes classic mysteries thank you for posting
I love these! Basil and Nigel=bloody great. Thanks for uploading; just subscribed. Cheers!
those two are hilarious they play off each other like no two other actors
Of the three Moriarty's in these pictures, I like this one the best! But the best Moriarty ever was Eric Porter! Omgosh! The look in his eyes, the expression on his face, and the way he talks, makes you forget that you are watching a show! All of a sudden you're thinking, " geez! This guy is going to do something horrible!" Watch The Final Problem, and you'll be shocked at how bad this character Doyle created really was! Of course, then you're going to have to watch The Empty House. It's wonderful!! Doyle's characters at their best!! Thank you Granada TV!
Well said !
Many thanks for sharing these classics: * * * * *'s for the series.
I like this movie with Basil and Nigel my most fav stars in the Sherlock Holmes flicks!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Wonderfully done.
Hillary Brooke is stunning!
I love their bookcase.It is such a mess. Typical of people that read a lot. I also love Holmes and Watson. Watson is so adorable and Holmes is so brainy.
elementary watson...gotta love it!! they are the best ever!
The future does have its advantages.
Old movies at the touch of a screen.
Old radio shows, the oldest of documentaries....
So cool.
THANKYOU
CLASSIC FILMS!
@39:20"Incidentally, you may have noticed that, through the ages, prominent men have had prominent noses." Too funny!
Doc Malthus -Thumbs up!!
Yeah, I bet Atilla didn't.
Good one. Watson always a sweet ole teddy bear. Hadn't noticed til this film that Rathbone is shorter than Nigel Bruce. Hillary Brooke is a familiar face, and so is Henry Daniel.
Thank You!
Amazing Elementary Amazing Elementary Amazing Elementary.... They say it over and over again in these movies! I don't remember reading it in my books.
I have an idea for a Doctor Who companion. Danny West. All he ever wanted was to have a great adventure. He could have been a skilled military sniper, but didn't because he realized he didn't want to kill people. So he became a mall cop in London. When he meets the Doctor, he sees a chance to have a great adventure, and the Doctor finds creative ways of using his talents.
"I deserve to be hypnotized"! Stupidest line I've ever heard from a guy who's supposed to be doing a murder investigation!
Great classic movie!
Excellent!
This are the best tcm i cant get enough charlie chan matlock margreat rutherford unbelievable just unbeliveable virginia
Did she say the sedative she gave him was "cannabis"? A little racy for that time.
We have come so far and lost so much.
Look at us now. Such a bummer
1:06:00 Just about the worst escape attempt in movie history. I know traditionally Moriarty falls from a great height, but this is just sad!
I'd have thought that holding that Rathbone doesn't play Holmes but actuall is Holmes is considered commonplace by now
great show it was the first sherlock holmes film i ever saw
SPOILER ALERT ... I don't understand why that man early in the movie could come to believe that he might have murdered the last woman in a series of murders where a finger was cut off. He lost consciousness for 10 hours and found a finger in his pocket when he woke up, but he had to know that hadn't committed any of the prior murders, so why would he have committed this one. That, I think, is a weak point in the story. Now, if there had been only one murder committed thus far, that might have been more plausible.
Any Sherlock Holmes I love.😘
@tallpaul521: Eve Amber plays the daughter of Sir George Fenwick.
I need a cigarette.....
Rathbone is awesome!!
🐯
@@tamiladeville7832🐱
Good to see Henry Daniel up to his usual brand of villainy and Hillary Brooke.
"I'll take care of things Holmes." "Thank you Inspector." Did the Inspector think that Holmes was supposed to do it and that he'd do Holmes a favor by doing it for him?
What school did Sherlock Holmes graduate from? Elementary my dear Watson--lol.
They spelled "Moriarty" wrong in the end credits...
Wait, the third Rathbone as Holmes film in which Moriarty dies? I know about 'Secret Weapon' -- which is the third one?
And thanks for posting this.
George Zucco as Professor Moriarty falls to his death from the Tower of London in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1939)
Manuela Hertel
Thanks for letting me know what the third movie was.
Eric Hinkle My pleasure!
Eric Hinkle No Moriarty did not die in that movie he died in the forth movie Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon lol i have down loaded all of the movies and i have the order in which they were made so if you would like the complete list i will be happy to write it down for you on here.
Rick's love's Of course does Professor Professor Moriarty (George Zucco) die in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1939). As I wrote he falls to his death from the Tower of London during a fight with Sherlock Holmes. In "The Secret Weapon" Moriarty (Lionel Atwill) dies by falling through his selt-built trapdoor (but his death is only mentioned by Holmes to Watson). In "The Woman in Green" Professor Moriarty (Henry Daniell) falls to his death from a rooftop.
...but he was killed in Monte Ve Dideo?
I've seen this film many times and still do not know who the character "Maude" listed in the credits is? The actress is Eve Amber. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.
Maude is Sir George's daughter.
Wasn't she the maid? Incidentally, it looked like they overlooked her when Scotland Yard arrived. Were there any other Sherlock Holmes fllms made, starring Rathbone and Bruce beyond the fourteen? Lol Sherlock Holmes and a good doobie back in the day, splendid!
Holmes keeps his tobacco in shoe lol.
Best players ever for the show!
Cannabis japonica? Funny what they used weed for back then!
I knew this was going to be a good movie when I saw that it was approved with certificate #10779.🙄
coognboy62/ I searched for my home bar, and found the soda syphons and sylenders- love them. Thank you for posting this one, the older the better.
really got her phone number? lmfao
What's with all the half spoken sentences? Did people talk like that in the 40's?
tom hiddleston and colin firth would be perfect as sherlock and hiddlesto would make a good moriarty tooalso michael fassbender as moriarty
What kind of music was playing in the pub scene o
Pretty wierd lyrics but what was she singing?
How many did profeser moriory die In Sherlock Holmes movies ?
motiorc
I don’t understand what you mean😳😳😳 do you mean professor moriarty?
How many times he pretended to be dead?
What does motiorc mean?
Try again after you get out of rehab.
Professor Moriarty many lives? I have seen he often die.
+Jadet Bee the cat with nine lives
LOL
Humm, I thought Holmes & Moriarty died at Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland?
They do but then the author brought Holmes back in "the return"
Yes. Holmes faked his death and disappeared for three years. He traveled extensively and wrote articles under a pen name. When he returns in "The Empty House", he lets Watson know that he's been reading the adventures of Sherlock himself!!! Doyle was so slammed with requests, and he was running low on funds, so he brought Holmes back. Even though he hated Holmes.
James Debernardo Thanks for the info James!
Patty Lee Thanks for the clarification Patty
Patty Lee How did Holmes’ household financially maintain itself for those years everyone thought he was dead?
Isn't it pronounced Monte VI-DAYO?
Sue Collins I think you're right. When watching these shows, we have to remember that they were done in Hollywood and they're very strongly Americanized. And the way they pronounce words is an American adaptation. Even the way they pronounce Irene here in the USA, is completely different than the way it's pronounced in England. Watch A Scandal in Bohemia with Jeremy Brett. You'll hear a big difference!
Everyone smoked souch. There is no pking allowed in restaurants here in Ottawa and people who work in hospitals have to go far from the building to smoke. I suppose it is because the ventilation system might take in the smoke if the were close. Times have changed and definitely for the better.
Mary Williams People used to smoke everywhere! Even on planes. Elevators, restaurants, etc... Until the late 80's or early 90's cigarettes were promoted as being good for you. They calmed your nerves and other such nonsense. In the late 90's, when tons of documents were uncovered about the tobacco companies knowing that their products caused cancer amongst other respiratory diseases, some lawyers and victims got together and won a big suit against the tobacco industry and then advertising and everything had to change. They also had to start paying people's medical bills and pay some families for the early loss of their loved ones.
Mary Williams Do you believe that? And if so you then even Sherlock Holmes couldn’t help you.
doctorwho0077 You're right! Just plain, natural tobacco has medicinal uses. Just like most plants on the planet. Unfortunately, the tobacco industry took advantage of the addictive effects of the nicotine and didn't bother to tell people to use it right. Then they added chemicals that were more addictive and harmful. One of those chemicals made the cigarettes keep burning so you'd have to run out and buy more!! All about the money!
doctorwho0077 I use nicotine in a modular atomizer to help increase my heart rate. I have bradycardia and I've ended up in the coronary care unit before.
@@patty5201: With exception to the dates you mention (and this may just be regional and timing(?), what you've laid out is very much on point.

No situations in the movie where Black people might want to hang out. Not even as servants! Can't ignore it!!

Where were the Black people in this movie?? That's the biggest question? Let's imagine where they might have been!!
How is everyone in CZcams land?
You know I hate these movies there always smoking and they make it look like it is so glamorous it's not, it smells bad your clothes smell bad and people have bad breath it's nothing glamorous about that. I cringe every time I see it in movies.
I bet Sherlock had bad breath with that pipe in his mouth so much.
At least he probably just smelled of tobacco and not rotten bad breath like so many others..
can’t remember my pipe smoking grandad ever smelling bad.
The tobacco smell became comforting to me, feeling safe and loved sitting in his lap while he told stories from his childhood days , all with the pipe in his mouth.
Cigars makes me think of Christmas , as my otherwise non smoking dad used to smoke a cigar on Christmas Eve after dinner.
He died when I was nine.
Now I like to smoke a cigar on Christmas to remember him.
