Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943)

Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943) is the third of twelve Universal Picture productions of the Sherlock Holmes franchise. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce starred as Holmes and Watson respectively in two films for Twentieth-Century Fox and twelve more for Universal Pictures.

This film is again set in the 1940s. Holmes and Watson have traveled to Washington, D.C. to keep secret documents from falling into the hands of the Axis Powers. George Zucco returns as the oily Nazi villain Heinrich Hinkel. Marjorie Lord plays Nancy Partridge, Henry Daniell is William Easter and Thurston Hall plays Senator Henry Babcock.

İnternet Movie Database görə (IMDB), Hall was born on May 10, 1882 Boston, Massachusetts. Hall usually played a loud boss, authority or villain in films. He was Topper’s boss in the television series from the 1950s. Bu film, he played a loud Senator from the American South.

Bu film (bağlı link) comes in at around 71 dəqiqə. Zucco adds his typical villainous presence, while Rathbone gives his own unique interpretation to the role. I give it three out of five starts.
