ກອງ​ປະ​ຊຸມ Sherlock’ Fatal ຊົ່ວ​ໂມງ (1931)

Also known at The Sleeping Cardinal, ກອງ​ປະ​ຊຸມ Sherlock’ Fatal ຊົ່ວ​ໂມງ (1931) ແມ່ນ​ຄັ້ງ​ທໍາ​ອິດ​ຮູບ​ເງົາ Sherlock Holmes starring Arthur Wontner ໃນ​ພາ​ລະ​ບົດ​ບາດ​ຫົວ​ຂໍ້. ເດ​ຄວາມ​ເປັນ​ຜູ້​ຊາຍ​ໄວ​ຫນຸ່ມ, ຜູ້​ທີ່​ໄດ້​ຮັບ cheating ຢູ່​ຂົວ​ກັບ regain ຄວາມ​ຮັ່ງ​ມີ​ການ​ສູນ​ເສຍ​ຂອງ​ຕົນ. Professor Moriarty uses the information in an attempt to blackmail the young man Ronald Adair, portrayed by Leslie Perrins.

Unfortunately for Moriarty, Adair’s sister Kathleen is friends with Dr. John Watson. ທ່ານ​ດ​ຣ. Watson will ensure that his friend Sherlock Holmes intervenes in the case to help the Adairs. Ronald is traveling on a diplomatic mission to Hampstead as a member of Britain’s diplomatic corp. It is on this mission that Moriarty wants Ronald Adair to drop a briefcase for one of Moriarty’s confederates.

Moriarty tries to warn Holmes off the case with no luck of course. When Ronald Adair is murdered and Kathleen is suspected, Holmes and Watson, played by Ian Fleming (not the James Bond creator), throw their energies into identifying Moriarty and his henchman including Colonel Sebastian Moran.

Arthur Wontner played in five Sherlock Holmes films of which four survive. This film was the first of the five films released between 1931 ແລະ 1937. ອີງ​ຕາມ​ການ​ວິ​ກິ​ພີ​ເດຍ, Arthur Wontner was born January 21, 1875. He lived until July 10, 1960, when he passed away at 85 ປີ​ຂອງ​ອາ​ຍຸ​ສູງ​ສຸດ. ພຣະ​ອົງ​ໄດ້​ແມ່ນ 56 years old at the time of this film. Wontner’s IMDB Page lists 53 movies and television shows between 1916 ແລະ 1955.

This series is extremely well done particularly for 1931. Wontner is my favorite ຮູບ​ເງົາ ກອງ​ປະ​ຊຸມ Sherlock. My only criticism of this series is the same as the Basil Rathbone series. Professor Moriarty was a character in one Sherlock Holmes story, The Adventure of the Final Problem. Same for Colonel Moran. He was a character in The Adventure of the Empty House.

Yet when you watch these series, you would think Moriarty and Moran were in every Strand Magazine ເລື່ອງ. I guess the producers felt that without an arch criminal the arch detective would not be as interesting.

ຮູບ​ເງົາ​ນີ້ (affiliate link) runs approximately 81 ນາ​ທີ. It is definitely a feature film. It can be viewed for free on YouTube or other Public Domain sites.

Which film Sherlock Holmes do you prefer, Arthur Wontner or Basil Rathbone? Why do you like one more than the other?
