Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce will always be Holmes and Watson to me. But that top secret bomb sight looks suspiciously like my Omega D2 photo enlarger. Who knew?

Still a lot of fun.

This story is very suspenseful and exciting!

But certainly film worth watching,I certainly doubt Watson's sense of humour and professor's
shrewdness, save these two,this movie is near flawless.Rathbone has fitted perfectly(Sherlock Holmes).

The file in H.264 is close to perfect (335 MB, 320 * 240).
So far the best quality from archive.org I downloaded.

I would love to see more movies in this format.

The larger of the MPEG 4 files is an MEPG H.264 file. You will need QuickTime 7 to play it http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/.

It's also been optimized to work on new ipod+video

Enjoy,
Scott

As for the movie. Sure Holmes would have been at least 80, but who cares? The worlds greatest fictional detective vs. the Nazis. How cool is that?
