Rating:  - For England
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are forever Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson in the minds of filmgoers the world over.

The few films I saw with this technique applied did not look very good (artificial-looking) and the artistry of the black and white photography seemed to be lost. When I came across these recent releases of the Rathbone Holmes films I decided to try one; they were the public domain films which had been released for years in poor VHS and DVD versions and to be honest, were some ...
