Rathbone IS Sherlock!
I just got this and a bunch of the other Basil Rathbone Sherlocks and watching them all over again makes me realize that Rathbone was not only the greatest Sherlock Holmes but was also the voice I would always hear in my head while reading the adventures as a teen-ager. I started with "Terror By Night" because of the title and while it is not as action packed as some of the other movies like "Secret Weapon," it is still a really interesting mystery. Even when you know who the bad guy is, you still don't know exactly where the possibly-stolen Star of Rhodesia is as it switches hands so many times!I have read that this was tosssed off pretty quickly as a movie, but Rathbone can't help himself except be amazing in it.
