I love watching these oldies. Thank you so much for posting these films!! :-)
Thank you for posting enjoyed this oldie
Great aren't they!!.....Rathbone was born to play Holmes!.... no-one ever came close did they...
Pammy Jones he is the best !
Saw these old flicks as a youth and then continued when I left home to work and bought my own B/W small tv. I worked afternoon-evening sifts and needed to wind down. Great memories.

Loved watching Basil as SHERLOCK HOLMES HE WAS MEANT FOR THE PART 👍👍👌👌👌
These Basil Rathbone movies are my “go to” movies when I just want to relax with a great old film. They are a pleasure to watch. I’ve watched them many, many times. B &W are the best.
Charlie Chan and Mr Moto are good as well as Mr Wong
@@thomaswardlow1358 - I prefer Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan over Warner Oland. I enjoy the Perry Mason films with Warren William, and Bulldog Drummond films with John Howard, and any film with William Powell.
I love the 1930’s and 1940’s B & W films.
Likewise. Have you ever noticed how rude everyone is toward one one another in these films? lol
Likewise
Hope comments aren’t off-color
M Chapman hew very strange
I thought no one had my eccentric taste
So good to see that these old classics still hit the spot for so many people . Gives me hope that taste has not been completely lost .
Back when old white men were considered sexy. Cigarettes, alcohol and racism. Kinda glad it's lost TBH
@@observelearn2345 WHY douse raceisum have to be brought into everything?. Cant people just enjoy life as it is and love one another.?
@@observelearn2345 What are you on about moron
Nope, we're all still here and we are of all ages too.
I experienced something quite similar when I listen to a Beatles song and then go to the comments and see a comment where someone says I'm 13 and I love the Beatles or I'm 28 and I know every Beatles song by heart! It really does the heart good, doesn't it?
@@observelearn2345 we can't change what was then, we progressed from there which is of course the best thing we could have done. Sometimes humans are stupid and slow
These classics never get old.
Basil Rathbone was an admirable man. After Nigel Bruce (Dr Watson) died, he apparently refused lucrative offers to reprise the role of Sherlock Holmes on the grounds that he couldn't imagine playing opposite anyone else.
My all time favourite Sherlock. Remembered forever Basil. September, 2023.
When life gets to be too much, too often, I play the one and ONLY Sherlock Holmes movie. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce make everything better.
You made me smile.
Your right

No doubt 🙄
I mean it’s Sherlock Holmes! With the two best actors everyone loves. 🤷♀️
But over three million views 🤩🤗💪🌌🌠💥
Let them eat cake.
I believe Moriarty sent them..
😂Well said
LOVE the train compartments! All that beautiful wood, the comfy couch, the sliding glass doors and the curtains.
So posh.....
Patty Glenn Lived in Britain and the trains are amazing, and each compartment has its own door to outside.
@@bobbywimsy6741 We Brits didn't want that anymore........we allowed the railways and all our other national treasures to be stolen, and then sold on the open market by those paragons of virtues, the patriotic Conservative party, the old English hearty full of gas thats farty Nigel Farage, will take us back to those good old days......
The same was true for the old ocean liners of the past like the Queen Mary. 🛳️🛳️🛳️🛳️🛳️ 😁😁😁😁😁
Me too!!!
There is something so cozy and sentimental about these films, especially taking place on a neat looking train with fancy looking booths☺️ especially that fancy looking lady 😍
Im 63yo, just discovered these SH movies.........never watched them before.
I'M HOOKED!!!!!!!
GREAT upload, NOTHING better than black and white movies!!!!
I'm 63 too but I've been watching since childhood. My mother RIP liked old movies.
Have you been hiding under a rock
Those old trains look amazing, I wish they were still around today
How can you possibly not love these 2 what a magical combination of characters
Bruce portrayed Watson as a MoronicBrainDamagedAsshole. That's why I don't love this "Magical" combination.
@@cindydott452
Totally agree.
I’ve always felt that Rathbone’s interpretation of Holmes was true to the stories by Conan Doyle.
But the portrayal of Watson as an idiot and a buffoon was not at all true to the original character.
The movies were entertaining, but the portrayal of Watson by Nigel Bruce was cringe inducing for fans of the books.
FINALLY WATSON UNMASKED I can’t take HIM Anymore just when I think he can’t get any Doppier then he triples my expectation please do something I can’t even look at his face that surprise look he Gives no more pass the barf bag
!!!!!!!!
Weren't they just !!
Nothing better than a classic film. No movies now can compare
There are a few exceptions yet I'd have to agree with you.
Nothing like a cozy old movie, great way to spend an hour. The train setting makes it even nicer--- something about the sounds of a moving train.
YES!! i just showed my son the clips of train dated 3 yrs after my own mother was born. love the images in this!!!!
You Know....I feel the same way...Rain storms & Trains...A Particularly 'Cozy' Setting to me too...My favorite category
@@rehab5355 😊 Have you explored those Ambient videos that are designed to appeal to these exact sounds and feelings? Some of them are very cool. They're mostly sleep aids, or you can just put them on in the background while working, writing, reading, or whatever.

There are tons of others. They seem to have anything you'd want-- sound of the Millennium Falcon, sleeping on a pirate ship, jet airliner white noise, a clock-maker's workshop, and more. You've gotta love RUclips.
The sound of a moving train is so relaxing and then add a little Sherlock Holmes in the mix and I am so much more comfortable. Take care all u Sherlock Holme fans, from Rachel ov the UK Sheffield xxx
@@cyruspersian384 Best to you, Rachel! :)
Basil had the greatest voice! Just like the great Karloff! What a treat for the eyes and ears!
So lucky to have these priceless gems available to watch. Even seeing these Sherlock Holmes movies many times, I always seem to find something new in them. Just great.
The best Holmes and Watson by far, nobody else compares to these two greats 👌🏻
Bruce portrayed Watson as a profoundly stupid oaf. The character in the novels and short stories is an intelligent man.The Rathbone/Bruce films are literally the only adaptations that decided Dr. John Watson was a BrainDamagedAsshole.
Try jeremy Brett, he was like out of the books, fit the description and personality to a tea, better than basil

Doing the same thing with my IPad at nite. Got to have my Sherlock Holmes to fall asleep.
Gotta be basil rathbone and Nigel Bruce in black and white. They are the only Sherlock homes and doctor Watson.

Sherlock Holmes movies never disappoints!!!!And Dr. Watson was always so loveable....
Yeah when he got in fight with the professor. And when he made the old guy confess he stole teapots even if Holmes’s already knows the fact that there were thieves on the train. And he told the professor he solved a crime! It’s hilarious.
Scientists have agreed

Mr Holmes is hypnotized..listen to a response
It always sickens me that Universal decided that Watson was a BrainDamagedAsshole. The Rathbone/Bruce films are literally the only adaptations to portray the character as a moronic clown that could never actually be a doctor.
Holmes by the one and only Rathbone , a unique acting treat and a timeless example of how the Holmes character should be assumed on screen
Watson by the one and only Bruce. A sickening parody, portraying Dr. Watson as a MoronicBrainDamagedAsshole. This series is literally the only adaptation to show Watson as a complete and utter imbecile. It's pathetic.
Basil is THE Sherlock Holmes.😎👍
I have to say, that this is by far, the very best rendition, of "Terror by Night", on RUclips. Superb audio and visual, a fitting tribute to Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, this later entry to the series, was one of the very best put forth by Universal Studios. I've been watching these films, since I was a kid, with my Dad, now I watch them with my Son. I am 64, and I enjoy these films, more than ever! ......
Major French Central States Command I believe this is the UCLA restoration.
I find it unwatchable since Universal decided that Dr. John Watson was a BrainDamagedAsshole.
Paid for by Hugh Hefner who also Loved all 14 films w/ Bruce & Rathbone.
I wondered how the quality was so outstanding. Now please tell me, how many diamonds were there? The real one, and how many fake ones, and how many times were they switched. I just can't figure it out.
Love Basil portrayal of Sherlock, enjoy watching all his movies 🎬.
It really is incredible to note just how truly satisfying it still is to watch these Rathbone / Bruce Sherlock Holms movies even after multiple views over the many years, and, for now nearly 75 year old films...!! The Definition of True Classics.
Exactly.
Truly satisfying, spot on .
I wish more 20 year olds watched shows like these I feel like I’m the only of my age group that indulges in film of this sort
Oh believe me you are not
I loved these old shows as well when I was a kid. These days judging by the internet! There's more than you think" that's a good thing.
you're not alone. I'm just 23 and I love this version specially Nigel Bruce portraying Dr. Watsons and Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes is superb
I’m 14 and writing this six months later
I KNOW WHAT U MEAN....I LOVE MURDER WITH NO GORE....HORROR WITH NO GORE...JUST A GOOD STORY AND/OR MYSTERY...
There's no Sherlock like Basil Rathbone! What a noble profile! And Nigel Bruce is a bunderful wombler 😉 Cheers!
"Incidentally Watson, you'll notice that prominent men throughout history have prominent noses"
Your statement has put in a nutshell the whole truth about the immortal B.Rathbone ,the only actor who played Holmes so close to the original Doyle's immortal character
@@mariaretali Don't forget Peter Jeremy William Huggins, known professionally as Jeremy Brett, who portrayed Sherlock Holmes in four Granada TV series from 1984 to 1994 (41 episodes). If you haven't watched them, please do, you will not be disappointed.
Ciao from Little Italy 🇮🇹 Montréal
Oh ! How l miss our old British Rail carriages and the little dining cabs , wonderful memories of my youth , often used to see newlyweds going on honeymoon with the bride still in her beautiful gown , families throwing confetti on the platform. No radio, no mobile ' phones' no computers, gone all gone . Thank You for the old films and nostalgic memories.
Aren't you glad you lived then!!
The world would be better without me
No other actor is in Rathbone's league. He was incomparable. And I've seen them all.
100%
True
Jeremy Brett much superior.
@@justininfrance He was good.
I think Christopher Lee is just as good.
These old movies are the best. They kept you on the edge of your seat. No special effects needed, you used your imagination.
I just love everything about these films the chivalry the smoking rooms the tweed Watsons buffoonery,the poker faces , the comb overs, oh and the lady in the black lace , wasn’t she a Dish...Absolutely Marvellous...
Yes indeed Barry Norman
I can totally immerse myself in the Rathbone/Sherlock films, they are a wonderful escape from the harsh realities of the 21st C.. I love the simplicity of this fictional world even the murders are quite gentlemanly if that's at all possible. Basil is truly the epitimy of Holmes.
I'm addicted to these movies. Love Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson
Love these films. Older stuff is the best. You can watch them over and over again.
Really wonderful old movies of Sherlock Holmes for his deduction and Watson for his witty, innocent dialogues. Never a dull moment
Great pairing.
love putting these old films on n then turn round n go to sleep listening to them. ;-] And i see i'm not the only one.. MY PEOPLE ;-] GOTA LOVE YOU ALL GUYS N GIRLS..
exactly what I do!
I thought I was the only one that did that
:-] :-] :-]
I will turn the movie on and go asleep wake-up, and the movie is over.
do you? lol ok... I just find it soothing listening to them.
Love these old movies,Basil Rathbone wonderful actor
I'm on a binge watching all these old sherlocks at night. Love them!
Now the nights are drawing in,and it’s getting colder.i love watching this all cosy at night
Victoria smith What a great expression of thought. Think I’ll join you.
Victoria Smith : don't forget the hot water bottle to complete the coziness.
Hello! I'm THREE YEARS into your future! 😂😂😂
I have watched these films many times and still enjoy them. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce have always been my favorite duo.
Hi I am the same basil & Bruce the best sherlock & Watson every nyt I watch my boxset.
I have watched every Sherlock Holmes I can think of, but I always return to these two crime busters, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are What Laurel and Hardy were to the silent films.Unmatched.
!
The train appears to be going about 200 mph. 😁
These films make me feel soooooo relaxed!!!!!
And me like innocent days gone by.
You wouldn't feel quite so relaxed, if you were MURDERED, and Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson had to find your killer! 😂😂😂
Yes 👍
Clive Mattinson on the contrary
I’d love to be dead
@@jacquelinejanz8466 Being dead does have certain advantages! 👍😂 However, eventually we'll all be dead, it's just a matter of TIME!
I love the sequence of Watson carrying out his own personal investigation, and himself getting interrogated by the professor under great duress. And the smile on Holmes' face after Watson's bumbling interrogation of the couple who stole a tea pot. "Serves them right if I got a bit tiddly".
I can't wait until I can use tiddly in Scrabble.
@@millionsofrecordsernieb7587
I can't wait to simply get tiddly

In my opinion, the best Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson..
This is the third or fourth time over many years that I have viewed "Terror by Night." The plot, pacing, and acting by the primary and supporting cast is of high quality entertainment. This viewing was enhanced by the high quality visual and auditory clarity of the film.
How many times have you watched it now? (5 or so years later...)
The Rathbone and Bruce Sherlock Holmes films are awesome.
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The best. 👍
A short film with a lot of plot...,with the talents of Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce & David Hoey you have a classic!
Basil Rathbone is to Sherlock Holmes as Sean Connery is to James Bond
Exactly. People will disagree; Daniel Craig is THE James Bond to me.
Bender 2010 - agree
Agreed!
Elementary, my dear sir!
@@brad349miller I have to tell you. I do like him FAR better than some of the others that played the role. Pierce Brosnan was a joke to me. Just say'n.
Brilliant film, all the Rathbone and Bruce Sherlock's are a great , what a duo.
They set a benchmark that in my view will never be matched for Sherlock Holmes
Will never be matched!
Probably my favourite film of all time. I don't know the name of the actress that was bringing the coffin of her 'mother' to Edinburgh, but I find her to be the most beautiful lady that I've ever seen, my missus agrees with me. She, whoever she is, is absolutely beautiful. Just saying.

Love it used to watch all these old movies with mom and pop. So great to see them again🤗
Love how Basil fixes his hair after almost thrown from train and fight scene. Mr. Cool under pressure
CW 12 Give that advice to Boris, and more pointedly, to our dear leader, Hair Failure.
Basil Rathbone was HOT!
Sean Connery playing James Bond fixed his hair the same way after that scuffle with the enemy in Russia with Love during the train scene. So suave
Simply superb ! Full credit to the director for a well crafted thriller with excellent editing . Rathbone and Bruce are brilliant. These movies never age however old they are. I can keep watching them any number of times .
Ha! I think the coffin maker also played the sea captain in the movie with the "Good Comrades". Love recognizing the same actors in different films.
Even though I'm only 32 years. I love old school music and movies. Basil rathbone is the best sherlock homles. Nigel bruce is best Watson. In book. Basil rathbone look like him just like christoper reeve look superman from comic book great actors timeless movies
Nigel Bruce... Need I say more.? Brilliant!, "we can't tell that without an au-TOPSY" ... also brilliant when he's doing the "questioning". This film was his finest hour.. Though obviously great in all of these.. His whit is soooo good... "Serves them right if I got a bit tiddly" ..
I remember sitting watching these with my dad as a kid, recorded on vhs and replayed over and over. Nowadays they take pride of place in a DVD box set. Amusing though how no one my own age seems to have even heard of these old films despite being so much better than any other rendition.

So sorry for ur los, I pray for u and her family, and yes I love these old movies as well
Have the entire collection on DVD, always takes me back to my childhood, watching these movies on BBC2.
Made between 1939 and 1946, a brilliant movie series :)
No one's ever done it better and no one ever will.....
Absolutely my friend
Nobody! Just NOBODY!
I’ve watched this film at least 25 times. Love it. And the part that always gets me is Lady Margaret whose son is murdered on the train and she’s far more upset about losing her Diamond than her son.
Yes, these films are great. When I was young, these are the films that kindled my interest in Holmes and the whole mystery genre.
People’s tastes differ I guess! But for me personally, these old movies are just beautiful. Just the accents alone fill me with nostalgia, an era long gone. 😢
Unknown by many: Rathbone was a fine athlete. Very capable fencer.
He was also prime cricket player on Hollywood British Actors Team which met often n challenged other teams
Other members in good standing included David Niven Ronald Coleman. and such. It was known as a randy and jolly. Bunch. Played practical jokes on each other n non Brtish. Hollywood types. ;)
He was also an Officer in trenches during the First World War.
That’s awesome
I wish he could come and do my fencing. It's getting knackered
A real swashbuckler in 'Zorro'
The best Holmes and Watson by a mile
Basil and Nigel were the best!
January is my Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes month. I watch every Sherlock Holmes movie with these two stars. I've been doing this for such a long time that when press 'play' I feel like I am hanging out with two old friends.
Isn't it August now?
Greetings from Scotland. ..I totally get where your coming from...I used to watch these whilst staying at my grans at the weekend...I'd be around 8 at the time back in the late 70s...the scarlet claw scared me to death lol...simpler times and memories of people long gone...wouldn't trade those times for any sum
Still relevant in 2022. You can't stop an excellent piece of artwork.
Can't beat an old b&w film set on a train.
These old films are the best classic's love these movies on a rainy sleepy day 👍
These great movies were cast with many of the same supporting actors in multiple adventures. The math professor, the teapot thief, the conductor, the train attendant, the casket maker, all appeared in others. Pull up the cast lists and compare. Lot's of repeats. I guess when you've put together a compatible and versatile team, you go back to them when the studio calls for the next project.
Great classic. So many cryptic looks from so many fine actors/actresses designed to throw us off the scent as it were. Such great suspense created on such a simple set. And, Renee Godfrey, wow, was she looking good.
I love old movies like this family friendly thank you
They always have these very classy and elegant ladies as the leads and villains.
There's not a wasted moment in these Sherlock Holmes Mysteries of Rathbone and Bruce. In between an hour and seventy-five minutes everything you will need to see, hear and know comes at you at a quick and measured pace. I like that. Compact, spare and very lean yet these movies stand-up so well to time and remain entertaining after repeated viewings. They are very hard-wearing after a fashion.
Don't worry, the sleeves will ride up with wear.
Damn!! That’s good watchin 👍
After Basil and Nigel...I can’t watch anybody else play Holmes and Watson.
Ah, the good old days...they just don’t make’em like they used to.
As Carly Simon sung, "nobody does it better."
Calgacus of Caledonia I agree with u nothing like the old black and white series but then there's nothing like Basil cause no one else can cuts the mustard to play a strong creditable Sherlock.
I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I absolutely cannot watch anyone else play Holmes and Watson. I have spent hours trying to find additional Sherlock Holmes Films, but they only made 14 😣
@@thetruequeen644 You may be surprised to learn that the Brits themselves believe that one of the best Sherlocks in history - if not THE BEST indeed - was played by ... a Russian. In 2006, Vasily Livanov became an Honorary MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for portraying the Great British Detective. Livanov's photographs and statue are displayed in London's Sherlock Holmes Museum, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Sherlock_Holmes_and_Dr._Watson .

The best Sherlock Holmes! And also love the Charlie Chan series!
Why is he in a suit and tie?
I don't like the modern version of this classic novel.
Guns? Fighting?
No.

Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite book series and movies. Im a big history nerd and love old black and white television. My favorite is the tv series with Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes, this one is awesome also. My all time favorite is Abbott and Costello though. Lol! I See this was uploaded quite a few years ago but thanks for the awesome film.
B R was the best S H there ever was. Thanks for putting the movies on. B R is timeless ❤️🧡💛💚💙💖🤎🤍. I have watch him as SH for years (I am 76) I
Keep up the good times
Thank you for posting this movie. Very atmospheric and witty as well. Surprisingly provided some truly frightening scenes
I just love the ramblings old houses on the MOOR. I've been reading mystery stories about the moors for a very long time & they never cease at add a sense of foreboding & a little fear. :-)
Indeed. I, particularly like The Hound of The Baskervilles. Baskerville Hall (in the book), was based upon 2 places, one, I forget where but the other was Hayford Hall which was just up the road from where I used to live in Lower Dean, South Dartmoor. So, The Hound of the Baskervilles means a lot to me. I love Dartmoor. I'm honestly not sure which version I like the most, Basil Rathbone's, Jeremy Brett's, Richard Roxburgh's or Matt Frewer's. They are all good for different reasons and cover different aspects that others leave out. The Richard Roxburgh one with John Nettles is really good overall but Richard wasn't my favourite Sherlock however, he wasn't bad at all. I can't decide who the best Sherlock is though, either Jeremy Brett or Basil Rathbone I'd say but that's simply my own opinion.
You should try walking across Dartmoor during the night. I don't believe in anything supernatural but one has to be especially mindful at times like that. You could be walking along, unable to see your hand when it's touching your nose. All these noises that you've never heard are everywhere and so loud! All of a sudden your feet are wet..."Am I in a river? Will I drown any second?" Then you fall into mud and gorse getting cut to ribbons. Oh my God! There are horses in my face! They all spook and you are begging that it was only you that spooked them.
The whole time you're thinking "it's not real, it's not real." All the while you're thinking that the Hound will pounce any second!
The worst of course, is when your eyes start playing tricks on you and you think there's actually someone there until you realise it's just your brain. You come across a figure in the dark..."oh, it's just my brain".
"Hello!"
"Aaargh!"
Why would they be walking their dog at 3am? Just to scare me.
It definitely induces fear even during the day. It's so barren. That's why I like it.
Anyway, I shall shut up now. I hope you enjoy more mystery stories. Take care.
Thank you, I love these old Sherlock Holmes movies. . . They are a lost classic artform. Now where is the pizza. . . LOL
I love watching these old movies. Such gentler more innocent times. I watch them many times over. Thankyou 😊
WW2 was at that time. Not so innocent times
Basil rathbone, what a dashingly, delectable human being!! 😘
And a sexy voice to go with him 😉 🥰
For me Basil Rathbone was the definitive Sherlock Holmes, I first saw it in the late 1980's on my local TV station. TCM are still running them on their movie channel on the Sky Digital satellite TV platform in the UK. I have recorded all the episodes of this serial ever made from TCM in better video quality than even on here.
Good job Patrick !!
These movies are the best, Sherlock Holmes is on every Sunday morning at 6:30 on the movie channel free TV you don't need cable for any of these movies they're on free all the time love the entire Sherlock home series I can watch him a thousand times. Thank you so much for posting these wonderful videos.
great setting and an undervalued gem of the series imo
I love it when they all turn towards Lady Margaret's son and leave an opening for her to see her dead son lying there with his eyes and mouth wide open. Very dignified. LOL
Basil Ratbone and Nigel Bruce are arguably the best mystery solving duo in film noir history and certainly the most entertaining.
Sorry, but these Holmes films are not Film Noir!
@@richardking3206 do you feel better now that you have that off your chest?
Do you feel better now that you’re clear on the matter? If you’re still not clear then I’d suggest that you read up on what indicators show what Film Noir actually is. It will be readily clear why these Rathbone Holmes films are not Noir. They’re not even what Conan Doyle would recognise as Holmes and Watson! They can be quite entertaining, which is how I see them, but no more.
@@richardking3206 Richard I will have to do more homework before I make a post about a movie on youtube next time. After looking at the definition of film noir I can see where I may have been erroneous in my characterization of that particular film. I do think that maybe one or two of the Sherlock Holmes films starring Mr. Rathbone could fall under the category of film noir, don't you, of am I still off base. Oh I apologize about the previous post it was rude and uncalled for. I'm sure you made your post with the best of intentions.
The Brilliant Bumbling Watson!!!!! Love him
Funny how everyone enjoys these films when it's raining I guess it's the gloomy London fog that sets the back drop and mood of a good ole Sherlock Holmes adventure cheers to all!!
It was 50s smog - not fog.
