Review – Sherlock Holmes and the Woman in Green

Somehow I managed to miss this one when I watched the Rathbone/Bruce Holmes marathon on TCM at the end of last year. Well, at least this completes the set. It also came along in 1945, after the studio got over the need to pit the famous detective against Nazi spies. This still lacks the Victorian thrills of the original stories, but at least the bad guy is the dreaded Professor Moriarty, backed by a woman who blackmails wealthy men by hypnotizing them into thinking they’ve committed heinous crimes. Mildly amusing
