All of these Sherlock Holmes episodes with Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathbone have been spectacular... I think that Nigel Bruce was deeply important to the Basil Rathbone character.... He acted as a foil for the character Sherlock Holmes.... This is when acting was acting.... if you will notice, nothing scenery wise was used in this episode.... what you saw... a small ships cabin, a small lounge, a small shot of the engine room..... it was all dependent on great acting....and a good story line....
Nigel Bruce was a very fine actor..... yes.... it was his real voice..... most good actors could sing, dance, act and were expected to be proficient in all.... the actors of this genre were very universal... the actors of today.... not so much....
*One of the actors in this Sherlock Holmes movie went on to guest star in the original Star Trek episode, "Errand of Mercy". In "Pursuit To Algiers", he played the taller of the two archeologists.*
Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chan and miss marple and Poirot and midsomer murders and miss marple and murder she wrote are my favorite characters to watch
I have been binge watching the Holmes and Watson episodes for years. They never cease to entertain me. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are perfectly cast and their portrayals are the best interpretations of these classic characters. Other actors have tried, but there are none better. The films are atmospheric and both dramatic and often humorous. Whenever I am stuck for something to watch I can always count on these films. The best of the best.❤
Grew up with that wallpaper (meeting with the men at the beginning taking on the case) in our family home. Absolutely taken back to times full of wonder 😌
There are about ~ 6 to 8 cast members which return time and again - one episode to the next. I think I actually prefer this to hiring everyone anew each time.
Nice. Thank you for uploading these. This is the 2 nd one along with the spuder woman that I had never seen. I have watched seven or so over the decades and thought that was all there were
There were 14 of Rathbone and Bruce in Sherlock Holmes movies.. There is one missng here called the advertures of Sherlock Holmes.. I think Moriarty was in it.. Can you get that one?
Love the ambience and music. Good fun. ^^^^spoiler alert^^^^ Just wondering why the jewel smugglers didn't sew the emeralds into the spine/lining of the case. Had to figure singer would find and possibly alert authorities....? Weird. Also why the elaborate travel arrangements. Couldn't they have taken king to Ravinia on a British or American destroyer??? Oh well! Good fun nonetheless.
I just noticed, after seeing this, for probably the 50th time, the lighted sign, that served as either the restaurant sign, or ad, which is identical to the old Arthur Treacher's fish and Chips lanterns that hung at each restaurant's door, here in America.
That was my favorite movie of these two. That was just wonderful! Damn there is nothing like this now. Mostly crap. I got rid of my TV in 2010. I think I am going to start a library of Britch Mysteries starting with Sherlock Holmes. THE BEST!!
I feel like they ended this too abruptly. They never explain who the man pretending to be Nicholas was the whole time, and it seemed to hint that a relationship was forming with him and Shiela. It just seems like it would have been interesting to have had one more scene wrapping things up. Like the fake Nicholas was a Rovinan army officer, and perhaps Shiela decided to go back with him rather than Brooklyn. But I guess secondary characters don't get much in terms of plot.
Why do they keep calling an automatic pistol a revolver? Wouldn't audiences of the time know the difference? Just a thought - I love these films again and again. Like a revolver.
@@markszawlowski867 It's been a long British habit, it is not a revolver anymore, but by habit, it's a colloquially a revolver. A flashlight, isn't in reality a torch, but they call it a torch out of habit.
10:43 all these movies are fantastic but this was definitely the low point haha. Just bad audio editing, rear projection, audio dubbing... but really it's the tires squealing and three men standing in the road 😂 aside from that, this series is awesome.
The reason these mistakes are left in the film is they are "B" movies. These "B" movies are made with a tiny budget even though its made by a movie studio. Universal studio was one of many studios in town that made their movies as fast as possible with little or no budget and had no time to re-edit or re-shoot a scene.
@@richardbartolo2890 I never insinuated that scene was a mistake. Compared to the entire series, it was definitely like you suggest, filmed very quickly.
For plot, intrigue and production value, there was nothing better than these old movies. Classics!
Luv these old classic Sherlock Holmes series....they are the best....!!!!
Cheers....!!!!

That is so true every word of it!!
Doctor Watson was NEVER that dumb.
Thank you very much Mark Farmer for uploading this and the other Sherlock and Watson movies, I so appreciate it!
Wish there had been many more episodes of these movies made with Rathbone and Bruce. Watched this set of 14 twice now! Thanks for sharing!
Which film is now removed?
@@oneandatwo The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Yeah, I haven't been able to find Adventures of sherlock holmes, and can't even remember what it's about! Hope someone uploads it again.
@@EmpyreanLightASMR It is available on UTube for free
@@seanh4841 I ended up downloading it "elsewhere"
I love a mystery on board an ocean liner. And this is a good one!
Love these old movies 🎥 💕
As always enjoy Holmes and Watson at their best. Loved Watson's singing voice and his humor as always. Thanks for sharing.
Wow - Nigel Bruce (if that was really he) had a beautiful singing voice! Enjoy these old Sherlock Holmes flicks immensely!
Nigel Bruce was a very fine actor..... yes.... it was his real voice..... most good actors could sing, dance, act and were expected to be proficient in all.... the actors of this genre were very universal... the actors of today.... not so much....
I love these old movies!!!
One of my fav Holmes movies. Just makes me want fish and chips.🙄
With peas and vinegar.
What a great episode, gonna binge watch them all now. Thank you uploader 😊💯
Thanks, Mark F. Nice playlists for Holmes and Chan. This is one of the best Rathbone/Bruce flicks, imho. Nicely done, all around.
Me three.
Thanks for having the beginning credits, many people are starting to leave them out on films and I feel I'm missing something.
12:32 "...to make yourself as conspicuous as possible!" Piece a cake for Watson.
Yeah, I chuckled!

The irony of Holmes advising Watson to never consider becoming an actor was not lost on me. Nigel Bruce was afterall a very fine actor, indeed.
Grew up with that wallpaper (meeting with the men at the beginning taking on the case) in our family home. Absolutely taken back to times full of wonder 😌
“Elementary my dear Watson,I’m very pleasant”😉🤓
Ive seen this film a few times ...all of them bring me joy.!
There are about ~ 6 to 8 cast members which return time and again - one episode to the next. I think I actually prefer this to hiring everyone anew each time.
Yes I agree.
Watson 'singing' was priceless!
Does anybody know the songs "Sheila" sings?
I would like to know also...
The man who plays "Mirko" must watch Peter Lorre. SEE Mirko's face in the porthole after throwing the knife in to his cohorts. Creepy.
The actor who plays Mirko also was in the Creeper. A Universal studios movie, Along with Rondo Hatton aka The Creeper.
Youngsters are missing more and more as time goes by! So sad! I love old movies! ❤❤❤
The late professor Moriarity was a virtuoso on the Bassoon! Lol
"A woman on board carries a revolver." As a military man Dr. Watson would have known it was a semi-automatic, not a revolver.
In that era, any handgun was frequently called a revolver. I picked on that misinformation too.
I think back then and in England a revolver means a handgun. ..
Dr Watson's 15 sec's of fame.......loved it.
Really great acting in this episode and we got to hear Nigel Bruce sing!
Nice. Thank you for uploading these. This is the 2 nd one along with the spuder woman that I had never seen. I have watched seven or so over the decades and thought that was all there were
My appetite was all wet for the telling of _The Giant Rat of Sumatra,_ but alas and alack-.
Sir Arthur--GENIUS!!
There were 14 of Rathbone and Bruce in Sherlock Holmes movies.. There is one missng here called the advertures of Sherlock Holmes.. I think Moriarty was in it.. Can you get that one?
Everyone always asking how do you do but no one ever answers.
Thanks because they hear it so often. 😆
for a hilarious take off on the Holmes movies, see The Firesign Theatre, --the,adventures of Hemlock Stones ans the Giant Rat of Sumatra
Thanks Mark Farmer I have never seen this and "Faces Death"
Love the ambience and music. Good fun.

TY MUCH 🎉 FROM KANSAS USA 😊
Wonderful stuff.
In a tough situation, I always think..WWHD?🤔😎
I love these black-and-white chillers. I am glad someone else appreciates them. Would you care to be friends?
How did the jewels get in the singer's briefcase?
Wow!!!

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖thank you
I knew this was going to be a good movie when I saw that it was approved with certificate #11214.🙄
Love Sherlock Holmes.❤
THESE ARE TOO EASY TO SOLVE, just keep crossing off any person Watson names as a possible suspect and the killer will be in those left
That’s half the fun.
Lol..surprise.ending..
Sislertx didn’t see that coming haha

For the same reason they call a flashlight 🔦 a torch.
@@icuryy5826 But the pistol is not "revolving", was my point 7 months ago :))
Same reason they say "clip" instead of Magazine...

@@20thCenturyManTrad Very true. And what a flm, eh?
Basil Rathbone had to be the best Sherlock Holmes but I think the writing was better for the Jeremy Brett series
This is Blurry Bad Copy .... Not worth watching this one here. More available online

The best were those in Lancashire in the early 50s….I was 7.
#STORYLINEbc we all know how royalty just loves democracy and good government
A means to an end...
Don't generalize
I never guessed it. I feel dumb 😂
I took, have a coal train fixation, but I really prefer, oil tankers. Very long, Santa Fe (53+). Love it.
Never took a cruise. Makes wanna drink scotch an smoke a tabacee pipe.
Watson ..."not an actor"...😃😆 But he is a lovely singer ..
WATSON THE BAFFOON....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buffoon.
*buffoon*
And no Hillary Brooke?
The worst of the Holmes films
