Sherlock Holmes Collection: Volume 3: (Dressed to Kill / In Pursuit to Algiers / Terror By Night / The Woman in Green)

If you grew up in this era, or well, post era, you will love these. These four episodes filled out my set of 14 movies from the UCLA remastering series. Play these on a nice HDTV and you will never see Basil Rathbone look or sound better. Blacks are deep black and whites are bright. I grew up watching these on cheesy old tube TVs, and today, they look spectacular. I'm 65, and if you fall into that category, you will go gaga for these Sherlock remastered versions. I would hope youngsters would watch, but not holding my breath with Black and white movies holding their attention spans and beating out iPhones and Candy Crush games. The price dropped by ten dollars and I jump after having this in my cart for two years. I patient that way.

We waited for years for someone to restore these fine films, (the biggest money grosser of all "B" film series, I might add....)and now they are complete.....I have the first two sets and they are wonderful, although like others, I wish there had been more bonus materials...Now we await the final two films shot at Fox....actually the original two films, where Fox has placed the great detective and Watson in an apartment that looked more feminine than possible....But alas, where Universal got the apartment right, they never allowed Basil to wear the deer stalker that is now so much a part of the image of SH....a poor decision.....Actually, the only sad thing about the Rathbone series is that they never really used the Doyle mysteries, and that's a real shame.....Indeed, had Basil and Willie had Doyle, you never would have heard of Bret, whose had the master's original stories to work in, but never captured Holmes humanity.........

I finally completed my Basil Rathbone collection of Sherlock Holmes movies with this purchase. I had a copy on dvd of Pursuit to Algiers made from TCM/TV and had the other 3 on VHS. I was very happy of the quality on Dressed to Kill, Woman in Green andTerror by Night as the VHS copy were from a "Public Domain" producer and the dvds were SO MUCH BETTER. And of course I love to watch all of these movies and will many times over. I can recommend all of these movies both for their print copy and for the content, I always believed that Basil Rathbone was very talented actor, and all of the others are also. Stories typical Sherlock Holmes and for any new fan they will find them very fun to watch.

Only twelve films in this Sherlock Holmes series from Universal but twelve only films. The transfers, (restored in 35 mm by the UCLA Film and Television Archive,) are first rate and the supplemental material is also interesting and informative. In short, for any one interested in the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce theatrical editions of Holmes and Dr. Watson, (with stories updated to 1942 to 1946,) look no further.

Grew up watching these Basil Rathbone movies and loved them. So good to have them on DVD to watch when I want to.

Restored versions of these great old movies are fantastic. The case is awful. Hard to get the dvds out, and if not broken when it arrives, the case soon will be. I'm so grateful for good versions of these movies but please package them better!

I wish when the item was advertized, they would say what it contained, but it doesn't. Therefore, I didn't know 2 of the 4 selections were things I had already seen

We love the Sherlock Holmes films. We already have the first two volumes and I was thrilled to find the third volume. We love the old black and white films and the stories are very well done.

Ich habe immer gerne mal einen Sherlock Holmes im TV gesehn, mir machte eine gewisse angestaubte grieselige nicht soo viel aus, weil es ja auch das mystische etwas unterstreicht und schließlich sind die Filme echt alt! Im TV liefen aber immer wieder nur die gleichen paar Folgen, die mit der Zeit eher nerven, zumindest bestimmte Sequenzen, komische Songs... was nur an den Songs liegt ;)Hier hat man endlich mal Folgen, die ich zumindest zu einem großen Teil (ich habe mehrere Staffeln gekauft) nicht gesehen und auch nicht aufgenommen habe, deshalb ist die Freude groß!Die Bildqualität ist doch um einiges besser, als im TV.Ein bisschen blöd finde ich, da es auch mit Platzmangel einhergeht, dass lediglich pro Staffel nur 3 Filme gibt, die aber in einzelnen slimcases daherkommen. Das ist natürlich chic, da die Filme aber nicht arg lang sind, hätte ich sie auch gerne 3 auf einer Scheibe gehabt, aber das ist Ansichtssache.Auf jeden Fall gibts eine volle Kaufempfehlung!P.S. ich werde die gleiche Rezi auch den anderen Staffeln die ich gekauft habe zufügen, denn da empfinde ich das gleiche.

Die DVD`S waren sehr mit Fingerabdrücken versehen. Sehr unangenehm, da es ein Weihnachtsgeschenk war und ich dieses nicht mehr kontrolliert habe....Finde es sehr schade, dass so etwas noch in den Verkauf darf.Einfach ekelhaft, der Beschenkte musste die DVD`S erst vor Gebrauch putzen....

Richtig tolle alte Filme und zum Teil Originalaufnahmen. Für Fans dieser Art Filme ein richtig tolle Collection. Muss man einfach haben. Ich sehe sie zum Teil oft mehrfach da man einfach mal sieht wie schön schwarz weiß Filme sind.

Toll was man auf altem Material heutzutage alles rausholen kann! Interessant auch: die 2. deutsche Sprachspur (DDR-Fassung).Ich mag diese Sherlock Holmes Verfilmungen aufgrund ihrer Atmosphäre sehr, von daher freut mich diese Veröffentlichung enorm, insbesondere da sie technisch so toll überarbietet wurde.

Sherlock Holmes ist einfach ein Muss für Krimifans. Tolle schwarz weiß Filme, sehr gute Qualität. Spannend und Kult! Dafür 5*
