This film is a pretty accurate retelling of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story. It has good performances by recognizable stars such as Wendy Barrie, Lionel Atwill and John Carradine.

Nigel Bruce plays Watson as a bumbling character, which is one of the reasons I like but don’t love the series. Pagal Internet Movie Database, Bruce was typecast early on as a the bumbling English aristocrat. Bruce worked for a stockbroker before serving in World War I. He was injured and wheel chair bound but made a full recovery. Per metus, he was part of the cricket club that also included Boris Karloff that introduced the sport to Hollywood.
