Sherlock Holmes et la voix de la terreur

Film

Sherlock Holmes et la voix de la terreur (1942) est le premier des douze films Sherlock Holmes faites par Universal Pictures. Basil Rathbone et Nigel Bruce reprennent leurs rôles en tant que Sherlock Holmes et le Dr. Watson respectivement. Jeu universel de la série dans les années 1940, malgré le fait que le littéraire Sherlock Holmes était 60 ans dans 1914.

In a good deal of the movies, Holmes is fighting the Nazis. Ce film (affiliate link) is set during World War II. The Voice of Terror is a German or German agent, who is committing sabotage against England. The Voice is responsible for several terrorist incidents. A council of ministers has called in Sherlock Holmes to investigate the crimes. Holmes seems to be stumped but is it only an act?

Nigel Bruce, Evelyn Ankers and Basil Rathbone

Evelyn Ankers plays Kitty, who helps Sherlock Holmes in his investigations. She was a staple in the Universal Horror films of the 1940s. Her most notable role was playing Lon Chaney’s love interest in The Wolfman (1943). She married fellow actor Richard Denning in 1942. They would remain married until her death in 1985 à l'âge de 67.

Unlike many of the other movies, there is no reference to Moriarty or his henchmen in this film. The film is also much shorter. It comes in at 65 procès-verbal. It is fairly well done but the film is not of the same quality as the Twentieth-Century Fox films.
