Summary: Satisfied but Bewildered
Review: After having spent years watching all 14 of the videos from Key, I recently purchased volume 3 of the Sherlock Holmes Collection. Everything they've said about the enhanced picture/sound quality is true, however, the DVD extras are missing. Am I the only one? The DVD extras promoted on the back of the case include: audio commentary with Stuart Davies, footage of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, production notes by Richard Valley and Photo Gallery/Original Movie Posters. I don't have any of the extras. It's still worth the buy and a five star gem.

Summary: Great Entertainment value
Review: Ever since a child I have always been excited when these films were shown on TV. I have recieved the first collection and it lives up to expectations, picture quality and sound are excellent. In this third series is one of my favourites, 'Terror By Night' again we seem film stock used as in many of the series. If you look carfully at the start there is stock also used in Universals masterpiece 'The Black Cat' where there is footage of the train being loaded. With the twelve Universal films being restored to excellent condition all I can hope now is UCLA give the same treatment to the two eariler Fox studios titles 'The Hound Of The Baskervilles' and The 'Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes'. The only gripe we can have with these collections is the lack of DVD extras. If your a fan of Sherlock Holmes, then there is no better than the films made by Rathbone and Bruce.

Summary: Sherlock Holmes is back
Review: Four more classic Sherlock Holmes mysteries from the vaults of Universal Studios. Somewhere in the 12 film series, the master detective simply had to solve a mystery within the claustrophic atmosphere of a train (the perfect setting for intrigue), and he does it here in "Terror By Night." The equally entertaining "Pursuit to Algiers" finds Holmes and Watson on an ocean liner. Despite these novel and exciting settings, the best film in this set is "Woman In Green." The chauvenistic sleuth was often at his best when matching wits with the opposite sex, but what makes this entry particularly outstanding is the appearance of Henry Daniell as Professor Moriarty. The brilliantly saturnine character actor had already made two appearances in the Holmes series but here he tackles the role he was born to play. "Dressed to Kill" is the last film in the series and, not surprisingly, it shows signs of fatigue, but Rathbone is as brilliant as ever.

Review: I couldn't wait to get this set of Holmes. My all-time favorite is Terror by Night. They are super quality and even better than the Key Vidio editions. This volume is NOT COLOR...it's B & W. Amazon...PLEASE CHANGE THIS ASAP!!!! It's deceiving!!! I would have bought it from you but it said that it was COLOR. I went and called Suncoast Pictures and they said it was B&W so I got it there. Fans...it IS B & W. What would a Rathbone, Holmes movie be without it being B & W. Thanks Amazon, Larry

Review: The films on this collection are of truly stunning quality, in comparison to the diabolical Region 2 set by Orbit Media Ltd. Truly fantastic quality. If you are a Basil Rathbone fan, you *must* get this set. I cannot recommend it highly enough. A definate must-buy product. Elementary, my dear Reader.

Summary: ...too bad...
Review: Too bad they won't be putting ALL of the Rathbone-Holmes' out on DVD. What's missing? CRAZY HOUSE (features H & W in cameo); a 1950 TV pilot called SHERLOCK HOLMES; and the 1953 SUSPENSE episode ADVENTURE OF THE BLACK BARONET, with Rathbone as Holmes. It would also be nice to see HOUSE OF HORRORS on DVD (with Rondo Hatton as The Creeper, the character he originated in the Holmes movie THE PEARL OF DEATH, so it ties in) as well as the oddball film SPIDER WOMAN STRIKES BACK. Oh, well, I'll keep waiting ...
