Description:
The master detective Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and his faithful cohort Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) are back, preserved and digitally restored in 35mm to original condition by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. This newly restored version of the classic film includes the period war bond tag and studio logo and credits from its original theatrical release. Filled with ominous shadows and interesting camera angles, the visual beauty of the film in 35mm is stunning. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson journey to Canada to attend a meeting of the Royal Canadian Occult Society in Quebec. Before long, they find themselves investigating a series of gruesome murders that the locals attribute to the legendary phantom marsh monster of La Morte Rouge. But Holmes suspects a master of disguise is the real killer, who might be anyone in the village. He contrives a clever trap and courageously sets himself up to be the killer's next victim.

Here is another strong entry (beautifully restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive) from the peak of Basil Rathbone's prolific, seven-year run as a definitive Sherlock Holmes for the big screen. The Scarlet Claw (1944) is an original screenplay with elements loosely inspired by Doyle's "The Adventure of the Dancing Men." A skeptical Holmes and Watson (Nigel Bruce) attend a meeting of the Royal Canadian Occult Society in Canada, but are soon looking into a killing spree attributed to a fanciful marsh monster. Fantastic events are soon supplanted by an even stranger horror concerning a master actor bent on revenge. --Tom Keogh

"Consider, Watson, the irony, the tragic irony of it. We've accepted a commission from the victim to find her murderer. For the first time...we've been retained by a corpse."
We are about to witness one of the cruelest and most dastardly of schemes, this time in the village of Le Mort Rouge, located not far from Quebec City and surrounded by marsh, bog and swamp. We also will witness the increasingly unnatural relationship between Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and John Watson (Nigel ... Read More

First, I want to point out that THIS is the copy of this film that you want. It's been re-worked by the UCLA film lab and was digitized from a very pristine black and white 35 mm print. All other copies are inferior to this one. The aspect is full-screen.
As to the story, it takes place in a small Canadian Hamlet where an aristocrat's wife has been murdered. She had tried to contact Sherlock Holmes by letter of her impending demise, but alas, too late!!! However, Holmes and Dr. Watson ... Read More

Universal's Sherlock Holmes series brought the characters into the 20th Century. Many of the were related to World War II, stories in which Holmes went in pursuit of spies and counterspies; others tried to mimic the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories with a presentation of mental puzzles. Although generally well executed, seldom did any of the titles rise above the level of "B Pictures"--but on the rare occasions that they did, they did so with a vengence, and THE SCARLET CLAW is such a case. Directed ... Read More

A ghost is seen in a swampy area, and numerous people confirm the sighting of this obviously-luminous ghost. Bodies of sheep and humans are found nearby. Each has the same, distinctive throat wound. Sherlock Holmes does not believe in ghosts. But how is he to find out what exactly this "ghostly" killer is? He fearlessly goes alone into the swampy area at night to encounter and examine this "ghost". Shivers!
Later, the clues begin to pile up: A fragment of rarely-made clothing gets torn ... Read More
