Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943)
With Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Dennis Hoey, Halliwell Hobbes, Milburn Stone, Mary Gordon, Arthur Margetson, Charles Pearce Coleman
Directed by Roy William Neill
Sherlock Holmes Faces Death is the sixth film in the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce series of Sherlock Holmes films. Made in 1943, it is a loose adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1893 Holmes short story "The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual". Its three immediate predecessors in the film series were World War II spy adventures with Holmes and Dr. Watson helping the Allies thwart enemy agents, but this one marked a return to the pure mystery film form. Though several characters are military men and there are frequent mentions of the ongoing war, it is not the focus of the story.
