The 1939 thriller was the whole beginning of what was to become a very important and lucrative franchise, THE SHERLOCK HOLMES FILMS. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce would start in just about all the Sherlock films in the forties. This first venture came directly from the Conan Doyle masterful novel, but Holmes would continue as a master sleuth long after all the original stars had passed on. Mr. HOLMES was just released in 2015 with Sir Ian McLellan in a very entertaining story line.
