MURDER AT THE BASKERVILLES (1937 aka SILVER BLAZE) Arthur Wontner, Ian Flemming, Lyn Harding, John Turnbull, Judy Gunn, Robert Horton, Minnie Raynor. Sherlock Holmes goes on holiday and visits his old friend Sir Henry Baskerville. Before long his holiday turns into a grisly double murder mystery. Interwoven into the proceedings is the disappearance of a prize race horse named Silver Blaze. Before long it becomes apparent that the culprit is Holmes’ old nemesis, Professor Moriarty. Historically, Wontner has always in Basil Rathbone’s shadow, but he’s really a very good Sherlock Holmes. Fleming was also good as his signature sleuth-partner, Dr. Watson. From 16mm.
