About Sherlock Holmes Faces Death

During WWII several murders occur at a convalescent home where Dr. Watson has volunteered his services. He summons Holmes for help and the master detective proceeds to solve the crime from a long list of suspects including the owners of the home, the staff and the patients recovering there.

Directed by Roy William Neill, Sherlock Holmes Faces Death leans on a strong ensemble — Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Dennis Hoey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1943.
