## Description

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 Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce. Holmes and Watson journey to Canada to solve a series of ghastly and ghostly murders. 1944/b&w/74 min/NR/fullscreen.

Review: Good movie - I’ve always liked Sherlock Holmes. I read all the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Review: The Baskerville Hound Cleverly Revamped - The single most famous Sherlock Holmes story...as well as the most popular...is, without a doubt, "The Hound of the Baskervilles". It has been in publication forever and is anthologized, eulogized, and satirized endlessly. And it has appeared on film almost as much as it has in print. Likely no other Holmes story has seen more screen incarnations as this one. In the late 1930s Twentieth Century Fox did a classic version of this story with Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson...and created a version of this detective team that became the long-standing yardstick for judging Holmes/Watson screen portrayals. Oddly, though, Fox didn't really seem to have an inclination to carry on with this concept in series format, and so "Hound" was basically a "one-off" for them (Though they DID do one weak sequel, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", which paled in comparison). Not so with Universal Pictures, however. They liked the idea of a Rathbone/Bruce series and cranked one up in the 1940s that did well. In the mid 1940s Universal decided to re-tool "Hound" and this film, "The Scarlet Claw", is the result. The Baskervilles got dropped from the storyline, as did Dartmoor and the giant "hellhound"and its demonic legend.The story got moved to a desolate marshland in Canada and the hound became a ghostly,glowing, manlike "marsh monster"(in "Hound" the villain paints the killer dog's mouth with luminous paint, in "Claw" the villain wears luminous clothing...a twist on the original, but very effective). Some characters,relationships and motives got reworked and Holmes & Watson were then set on the trail. The Result? The hands-down BEST film in the Universal Holmes series. Without a doubt. Tense, eerie, exciting. "Claw" is all of these things and more. If you like Sherlock Holmes then you'll love this. A real Keeper on DVD. What was that??? Did you hear something behind you???? Maybe you should walk a little faster with this fog creeping in.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This 1944 ilm has a Terrific, "OMG" Ending!! — PS, Lot's of Hints that Holmes & Watson are Gay ;)
*by D***N on October 6, 2024*

Top-notch! — This 1944 film has a Terrific, "OMG" Ending!! — PS, Lot's of Hints that Holmes & Watson are Gay ;) See if you think the same thing when they reminisce about their coziest hotel rooms, and many other hints (as much as they could in 1944), and of course they never show the slightest interest in a woman, haha. Very likable, and villainous deliciously-unlikeable, characters. Lots of creepy mystery abounds! — Enjoy!
