Dove Review

The game is afoot, and Sherlock Holmes is the sleuth to solve the case! This wonderful collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures features the strong acting of Basil Rathbone, as the great detective, and the movies have been colorized and restored.

This collection features four films: “Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon,” based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Dancing Men”; “Terror by Night”; “Dressed to Kill” and “The Woman in Green.” See Holmes at his best, as he battles the Gestapo’s plans regarding a secret weapon, protects a priceless diamond on a speeding train, attempts to crack the code of music boxes that reveal a message about a major crime, and tries to solve the mystery of four women who are murdered, each with their right forefinger severed. He suspects his arch enemy, Professor Moriarty, is behind the murders.

The scripts feature excellent writing, the mysteries are unpredictable and fun, and Holmes comes to life, as he smokes his pipe and contemplates the various crimes he must solve at 221 Baker Street. We are pleased to award this wonderful collection four Doves and our Dove Family Approved Seal for ages 12-plus. It’s elementary, dear viewer. You will enjoy this collection.
