A great piece of ant-Nazi propaganda enlisting Holmes in the war effort.

Holmes vs. Nazi's. What's not to love about that? Probably the best cinematography of the entire series too, as Evelyn's eyes literally sparkle in one shot.

Terrible. The mystery sucks, the acting is mostly pretty bad and the film reeks of WW2 propaganda. The only redeemable quality is that it's short enough that you can make it through to the end.

The worst of the Rathbone/Bruce films. It just doesn't satisfy as a mystery. Holmes' deductions come out of nowhere (even more than usual), which are often explained with reference to a clue that the audience was not privy to. That's just unfair. The few twists are clearly broadcast and there's almost no tension. And the attempt to modernize the Holmes universe is, as always, disappointing. On the bright side, Rathbone's performance is especially good in this installment.
