"You're on a job for Scotland Yard, Aren't you?"
Ever since I was a kid, I have loved watching Sherlock Holmes movies. They bring back some great memories. Every Sunday, I would sit down in front of the old Sony Television with my dad and we would flip on KHJ-TV channel 9 in Los Angeles and take in the Sherlock Holmes movie of the week. "With Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson."Granted, with the exception of maybe one or two of the fourteen movies in the Sherlock Holmes series, they are "B" grade movies. But these are fun movies. They move quickly (a little over an hour), the plot is engaging, the characters legendary, and there is always a good line or two that will make you chuckle. Either on a rainy night, or a hot summer's night, this Black and White movie is still a classic.The basic synopsis, Holmes and Watson are asked to guard a famous jewel on a train. Of course, the murderer strikes, the jewel is stolen and the detective, sidekick, and inspector lestrade from Scotland Yard cross-examine suspects. Everyone has an alibi, or do they? You'll have to watch to find out. Terror by Night was among that last movie in the series which even makes it more endearing.If you enjoy the movies, you'll also enjoy their old-time-radio shows, which they did in the 1940s as well. These half hour shows are quite good.
