good Sherlock
9 August 2021
Men are seemingly jumping to their deaths. The newspapers call them "Pajama Suicides". Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is fishing with Doctor Watson (Nigel Bruce) in Scotland. When he reads a newspaper report, he immediately realizes that these are murders. He falls into the river and is presumed killed. In reality, he faked his own death to catch a Moriarty-like villainess.

This is an original present-day plot with elements of several Arthur Conan Doyle stories. It's a fun little Sherlock Holmes movie. The Rathbone Bruce combination continues to be good. I normally dislike brown-face acting but the disguise does serve a purpose. It's a good episode in this Sherlock series.
