Sherlock Holmes agus an Guth na Terror

Scannán

Sherlock Holmes agus an Guth na Terror (1942) Is é an chéad cheann de dhá cheann déag de scannán Sherlock Holmes a rinne Pictiúir Uilíoch. Basil Rathbone agus Nigel Bruce reprise a róil mar Sherlock Holmes agus an Dr. Watson faoi seach. Uilíoch a leagtar ar an tsraith sna 1940idí in ainneoin go raibh an liteartha Sherlock Holmes 60 bliain d'aois i 1914.

In a good deal of the movies, Holmes is fighting the Nazis. This film (nasc affiliate) 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 ag aois 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 minutes. It is fairly well done but the film is not of the same quality as the Twentieth-Century Fox films.
