Basil Rathbone is still the definitive Sherlock Holmes, and Nigel Bruce, charming and deftly comic, is the perfect Watson.

5 out of 5 stars Sherlock Holmes.......2006-11-05

I was so very pleased with the quality of the films on this DVD. There is a disclaimer in the beginning saying the quality may not be as good as expected but it was better then I expected. The sound quality is very good and the picture quality is very good. I would recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys the old Sherlock Holmes films.

2 out of 5 stars Dressed to Kill/Woman in Green/Terror by Night-set.......2004-03-01

I think some of the postings here have been less than truthful. This particular DVD is very grainy, the sound is often muddy and there are occasional jumps in scenes. I do not recommend this to a buyer wanting to add some Holmes films to his library. Surely there's a better offering out there...and if not, I would suggest waiting till someone offers a digitally remastered version of these very fine old films.

4 out of 5 stars Just as I Remembered Them.......2002-05-31

This DVD brings back these three movies exactly as I remember them. I was not yet born when these movies debuted on the silver screen, however...my memories of these movies is from when I was a child, watching them on late-night television with my grandmother. Since then, I have been a fan of Basil Rathbone and enjoy his rendition of the infamous resident of 221B Baker Street. These movies are original material (as opposed to, say, The Hound of Baskervilles which is adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writings) but still capture the epitome of Sherlock Holmes.

The quality of the reproduction certainly is not perfect. However, if you remember watching these movies on television as I do, then you will be familiar with the quality of the film. The sound is a little scratchy, and the picture is a little grainy, but the movies are viewable and very much enjoyable. If you remember these movies, you will not be disappointed by this DVD. If, however, you are looking for adaptations of original Conan Doyle material, you may wish to look to the Jeremy Brett renditions.

4 out of 5 stars Tremendous Nostalgic Value.......2002-03-27

Many people, especially those who grew up during the 1930s and 1940s, have fond memories of Basil Rathbone's famous Sherlock Holmes series. My own exposure to the popular series came in the 1970s, when I encountered them on the late-late show; "The Scarlet Claw" was a particular favorite. Unfortunately, few of these films have ever been released to the home market in either VHS or DVD, and those that have reflect their need for serious restoration. This is particularly true of the films seen here. Although not unbearably fuzzy, the pictures are far from being crisp and clean, and the sound is occasionally problematic.

DRESSED TO KILL finds Holmes investigating three mysterious music boxes--and events quickly turn to murder. Of the three films, this is the weakest: the story is very slow to start and it never really achieves a good pace; the sound quality is also very, very poor in spots. THE LADY IN GREEN concerns Holmes' investigation into several murders that seem to be the work of a serial killer, and although the film elements remain problematic this film is quite a bit more enjoyable than the first. The third and final film, TERROR BY NIGHT, is easily the best of the three in both story and elements, setting a cracking pace with its story of murder and a diamond theft onboard an Edinburg-bound train.

Film restoration issues aside, Rathbone's Holmes has held up extremely well over time. As interpreted here, Holmes is sometimes as much action hero as he is thinking machine, and Rathbone plays him with a snappy clip, dry humor, and enough intensity to suggest untold depths. He is well matched by Nigel Bruce, whose truly dunderheaded Dr. Watson nonetheless has considerable wit and charm. The stories and scripts are pure formula, of course, and the supporting casts and production values quite mild--but Rathbone and Bruce's performances and chemistry have more than enough charm to gloss over these inadequacies. Not every one will enjoy these films, for they have a naive quality that many may consider unsophistocated to the point of absurdity, but fans of the series would rather fight than switch. Just bear in mind the quality issues, don't expect too much, and you'll have a very good time.

5 out of 5 stars Gotta love those sleuths........2002-03-11

I adore every one of the old Holmes/Watson films with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. I thought they were perfect for the parts, and Nigel Bruce was just an endearing Watson. If you are into the Master, and don't take yourself too seriously, these are fun to watch. I only wish that there were more of them for us to enjoy. On the down side, do not expect great quality from these films because it isn't there. Sadly, these are falling apart, so there may not be any more of them in the future, unless someone makes an investment, and restores them. Even though they are only "acceptable" visually, these are wonderful slices of cinematic entertainment. Rathbone's arch, tongue in cheek Holmes, and Bruce's endearing, bumbling, and smug Watson are too good to pass up. I watched these as a child, and so for me, there are no other actors who could come close to these guys. Watching Watson bumble around, gives you an understanding of what an upper class twit is, and how they lost the empire!

4 out of 5 stars Dressed for terror.......2007-02-06

Basil Rathbone is one of the two great Holmes actors in movie history (the other being Jeremy Brett). And he was in fine form in "Sherlock Holmes Collection Volume 3," which varies from merely okay to absolutely brilliant.

"Dressed to Kill" has a friend of Watson's (Nigel Bruce) telling Holmes of a bizarre crime -- someone broke into his house, and stole a worthless music box from a valuable collection. Then the man is murdered -- and three plain little music boxes are the key to solving an elaborate mystery.

"Terror By Night" has Holmes hired to look after a valuable diamond belonging to a wealthy woman, as she travels back to Scotland. Of course, the diamond gets stolen and the woman's son is murdered in the attempt, and now Holmes discovers that the murderer is an old enemy.

"The Woman In Green" deals with a serial killer -- four women have died, and each time a finger was removed. The police think that it's just a baffling series of crimes, but Holmes knows better -- and he suspects that his old, supposedly-dead nemesis Moriarty (Henry Daniell) is involved.

Finally there's "In Pursuit to Algiers," in which the king of Ravenia has been murdered -- and now his son is in danger too. On the cruise to his homeland, the young king pretends to be a relative of Watson's -- but Holmes still has to guard him against an array of potential murderers.

These were some of the later Holmes adventures, often not based (or loosely based) on Arthur Conan Doyle's works. But even the weakest ("Dressed to Kill") is still an enjoyable mystery, with some amusing moments and unexpected twists. They're just not as brilliant as Doyle's, that's all.

And they are solidly written and directed, with plenty of interesting settings, from the claustrophobic train to Scotland to a hypnotists' society. And the filmmakers throw in some wonderful little twists, such as a switcheroo Holmes plays on his enemy in "Terror By Night."

Rathbone is still best known for playing Holmes, and he does it well -- cool, cerebral, but with a gentle humor and warmth in scenes such as the little girl's rescue. Bruce doesn't fare as well, since the capable Watson is portrayed as a kindly bumbler, but he does a solid enough job with a poorly-portrayed character.

"The Sherlock Holmes Collection Volume 3" is a bit less solid than the other collections, but still very nicely done. Definitely worth watching.

5 out of 5 stars Satisfied but Bewildered.......2004-12-17

After having spent years watching all 14 of the videos from Key, I recently purchased volume 3 of the Sherlock Holmes Collection. Everything they've said about the enhanced picture/sound quality is true, however, the DVD extras are missing. Am I the only one? The DVD extras promoted on the back of the case include: audio commentary with Stuart Davies, footage of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, production notes by Richard Valley and Photo Gallery/Original Movie Posters. I don't have any of the extras. It's still worth the buy and a five star gem.

5 out of 5 stars Most favorite Holmes movies........2004-04-24

I couldn't wait to get this set of Holmes. My all-time favorite is Terror by Night. They are super quality and even better than the Key Vidio editions. This volume is NOT COLOR...it's B & W. Amazon...PLEASE CHANGE THIS ASAP!!!! It's deceiving!!! I would have bought it from you but it said that it was COLOR. I went and called Suncoast Pictures and they said it was B&W so I got it there. Fans...it IS B & W. What would a Rathbone, Holmes movie be without it being B & W.

Thanks Amazon,

Larry

5 out of 5 stars Worth the wait !.......2004-02-05

IF the house were burning down, I'd grab these 3 DVD sets of Sherlock Holmes on my way out !! Thanks to those who made these restored versions possible, they are wonderful. All of these are far superior to any entertainment made today.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic quality - classic films!.......2004-02-02

The films on this collection are of truly stunning quality, in comparison to the diabolical Region 2 set by Orbit Media Ltd. Truly fantastic quality. If you are a Basil Rathbone fan, you *must* get this set. I cannot recommend it highly enough. A definate must-buy product. Elementary, my dear Reader.

      Description

      The Woman In Green (1945) was the last film in the Basil Rathbone/Sherlock Holmes series to be written by Bertram Millhauser. Four women are murdered and curiously all four have been left without their right forefinger. Scotland Yard concludes that a madman is to blame but Sherlock Holmes suspects otherwise and soon deduces a criminal mastermind is at work. The illustrious sleuth has few clues to lead him towards another solved case but he soon discovers a web of blackmail and hypnotism unlike anything he has ever seen. Holmes fears that only one man, his archenemy, Professor Moriarty (Henry Daniell) could be involved in such an evil scheme.

      5 out of 5 stars Yet another wonderful Legend Films movie:).......2007-03-05

      This is a wonderful Sherlock Holmes movie with both black and white or colorized version available on dvd. I personally prefer the wonderful colorized version but both are excellent quality as are all of the movies put out by Legend Films. They are second to none!!!!!

      4 out of 5 stars You can see the green!.......2007-02-11

      Some purists insists these old classics be kept black and white as filmed. I can understand that, and, in theory, agree, but I found the quality of this colorized version of The Woman in Green remarkable! If I wasn't already aware of the movie I would think it had been filmed in color! I think it adds to the viewing experience, making the characters more life-like and believeable. It helps bring the menance of the mutilated London murder victims, oddly missing a finger, seem even more subtle, yet immediately menacing and you can still enjoy the original version also on this disk if your prefer. Highly recommended.

      4 out of 5 stars Why the title change on the box?.......2007-01-10

      I don't know why they had the title- "Prelude To Murder" on the box of the disc I obtained, seeing that the films actual title is THE WOMAN IN GREEN. But, I guess they have since remedied this. I know that some people actually detest Colorization of old black and white films. Now, that they offer the option (like on this disc), of watching this fine Sherlock Holmes movie, with "THE" representation of the great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, Basil Rathbone, either in Black and White, or Colorized; it should satisfy everyone who enjoys these movies and this series.

      5 out of 5 stars Another colourised hit for Holmes!.......2006-03-11

      I've seen bad jobs done with colourising-but not these Rathbone Holmes films.
      The colour is exceptionally well done-faultless I'd say.
      The original black and white version on included on the disc-so there's really nothing for anyone to complain about.
      I rigged up my players so I could watch one colourised edition alongside the MPI restored versions, and there was nothing to say against the colourised versions.
      Throw away your reservations, and buy these incredible discs-I'm quite sure all the cast and crew involved in the making of these films would have approved of the job that's been done on them. (as I've said elsewhere-it's not been set in stone-you can watch the b & w version included on the disc!)

      4 out of 5 stars Sherlock vs Moriarity Rathbone Style.......2006-01-26

      The Basil Rathbone - Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films were moved from Victorian England to current England (1945). Also, like the James Bond films, the only thing similar to the books is the title. If you are looking for faithful adaptation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books then get the Jeremy Brett Mystery series. If you are looking for some great acting and good period mysteries, the Rathbone - Bruce series is great.

      London has a serial killer. He is killing women and mutilating them. The police are baffled so enter Sherlock Holmes. Quickly they realize that this is not a serial murderer but blackmail plot using murder to control their victims. Holmes quickly deduces what is happening and that his old archenemy, Moriarity, is behind it. The title character is the woman who seduces the men.

      The transfer quality is fairly poor but not awful. These are the kind of films that are not usually subject to restoration and the deteriorated status is that of wear and age. I have seen a new collection but they are quite expensive. So if you just want to have a copy of the films just to enjoy these mysteries, these are fine.

      Of course, for most Basil was Sherlock Holmes, this was probably the first films that he had a chance to a role that he could use his substantial talent. Before these, he was usually the bad guy or a minor supporting player. He was an accomplished swordsman and the joke was he constantly had to lose to actors that he could beat blindfolded. So Basil made these quickie films much more depth than they would otherwise have.

      5 out of 5 stars Yet another wonderful Legend Films movie:).......2007-03-05

      This is a wonderful Sherlock Holmes movie with both black and white or colorized version available on dvd. I personally prefer the wonderful colorized version but both are excellent quality as are all of the movies put out by Legend Films. They are second to none!!!!!

      4 out of 5 stars You can see the green!.......2007-02-11

      Some purists insists these old classics be kept black and white as filmed. I can understand that, and, in theory, agree, but I found the quality of this colorized version of The Woman in Green remarkable! If I wasn't already aware of the movie I would think it had been filmed in color! I think it adds to the viewing experience, making the characters more life-like and believeable. It helps bring the menance of the mutilated London murder victims, oddly missing a finger, seem even more subtle, yet immediately menacing and you can still enjoy the original version also on this disk if your prefer. Highly recommended.

      4 out of 5 stars Why the title change on the box?.......2007-01-10

      I don't know why they had the title- "Prelude To Murder" on the box of the disc I obtained, seeing that the films actual title is THE WOMAN IN GREEN. But, I guess they have since remedied this. I know that some people actually detest Colorization of old black and white films. Now, that they offer the option (like on this disc), of watching this fine Sherlock Holmes movie, with "THE" representation of the great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, Basil Rathbone, either in Black and White, or Colorized; it should satisfy everyone who enjoys these movies and this series.

      5 out of 5 stars Another colourised hit for Holmes!.......2006-03-11

      I've seen bad jobs done with colourising-but not these Rathbone Holmes films.
      The colour is exceptionally well done-faultless I'd say.
      The original black and white version on included on the disc-so there's really nothing for anyone to complain about.
      I rigged up my players so I could watch one colourised edition alongside the MPI restored versions, and there was nothing to say against the colourised versions.
      Throw away your reservations, and buy these incredible discs-I'm quite sure all the cast and crew involved in the making of these films would have approved of the job that's been done on them. (as I've said elsewhere-it's not been set in stone-you can watch the b & w version included on the disc!)

      4 out of 5 stars Sherlock vs Moriarity Rathbone Style.......2006-01-26

      The Basil Rathbone - Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films were moved from Victorian England to current England (1945). Also, like the James Bond films, the only thing similar to the books is the title. If you are looking for faithful adaptation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books then get the Jeremy Brett Mystery series. If you are looking for some great acting and good period mysteries, the Rathbone - Bruce series is great.

      London has a serial killer. He is killing women and mutilating them. The police are baffled so enter Sherlock Holmes. Quickly they realize that this is not a serial murderer but blackmail plot using murder to control their victims. Holmes quickly deduces what is happening and that his old archenemy, Moriarity, is behind it. The title character is the woman who seduces the men.

      The transfer quality is fairly poor but not awful. These are the kind of films that are not usually subject to restoration and the deteriorated status is that of wear and age. I have seen a new collection but they are quite expensive. So if you just want to have a copy of the films just to enjoy these mysteries, these are fine.

      Of course, for most Basil was Sherlock Holmes, this was probably the first films that he had a chance to a role that he could use his substantial talent. Before these, he was usually the bad guy or a minor supporting player. He was an accomplished swordsman and the joke was he constantly had to lose to actors that he could beat blindfolded. So Basil made these quickie films much more depth than they would otherwise have.

        5 out of 5 stars MARENGO UPGRADES DISK .......2005-01-04

        Marengo Films is proud to announce that it has just finished upgrading the quality of both films on this DVD. Software that was not invented five years ago has allowed Marengo to complete a PRISTINE MAKEOVER. The movies were put through a complete new sound design, and color correction. We feel these are the best quality of these two HOLMES films on the market.

        4 out of 5 stars GOOD QUALITY.......2004-05-02

        This Marengo disc is a good buy. The quality while not perfect does not make the eyes or ears vomit. Like other reviewers have stated, The Women In Green is the nicest of the two. Dressed To Kill seems washed out and there is not enough distinction between the blacks and whites. Both movies are very watchable. I did not hear any annoying hissing in either movie.

        5 out of 5 stars THE GAME IS AFOOT.......2003-09-12

        There is only one Holmes... Basil... and Nigel is the perfect foil... Dr. Watson. I have watched this DVD three times this year and have loved every minute of it... all three times! I read several reviews panning this DVD right before I wrote this and feel like maybe the competition is sandbagging this company... The Woman in Green is a SUPERB print and the sound is crystal clear as far as I can tell... Dressed to kill was a "Lighter" print than Dressed... but still it was very watchable, and the sound was perfect so I certainly am either going blind or something is 'Afoot' which I suspect... the DVD is a bargain for the price and if you love Holmes I would say buy it, you really won't be disappointed.

        5 out of 5 stars The Baker Street Boys.......2003-05-24

        Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are at it again in these two films. If you are a fanatic as I am you will enjoy these two very nice films. The print of The Woman in Green is superb the other print is what I would call very good. One print is lighter than the other but I can imagine it is hard to find these old films. Marengo has done a nice job on the sound... there is virtually no hiss, pops or crackels, etc. I personally found this DVD a very good buy... and of course Rathbone is the ultimate Holmes.

        1 out of 5 stars Pass on this Public Domain DVD, get the MPI Restored DVDs!.......2003-04-25

        Since MPI has restored all of the classic Sherlock Holmes movies on DVD from 35mm fine grain prints, there is absolutely NO reason to buy anybody elses grainy release!
