Review – Sherlock Holmes and the Pearl of Death

Here’s an interesting twist: Holmes under public pressure to remedy his own blunder (or at least apparent blunder). A thief make off with the priceless Borgia Pearl during Holmes’s demonstration of the ineffectiveness of the security system designed to protect it. Fleeing hot pursuit, the thief conceals the pearl in the wet plaster of a bust of Napoleon, one of a set of six in a workshop. So our heroes end up in a race not only to recover the pearl but also to stop the bad guys from murdering the people who bought the busts. One of the highlights of the picture is The Creeper, a sinister killer played by Rondo Hatton. Mildly amusing
