| There is a second of screen time wasted in telling the story of the Star of Rhodesia diamond that is stolen on board an express train - and, of course, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and Lestrade Insepctor are all aboard train, after being informed that someone is going to make an attempt to steal it. This low-budget Universal entry is easily one of the best features of the Universal co-starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Bruce is especially funny as he decides to do some research himself, with amusing red herrings that you astray. Rathbone is completely smooth and relaxed as Holmes, snappy less than usual in how it treats Watson and more enjoyable in the role he has been in other entries. The plot abounds in the usual assortment of suspects personalities, but of all the players MOBRAY ALAN is the one that stands out as the man who befriends Watson. Despite the low budget ornaments and excessive display of thumbnails to a train racing through the fog of the night, the story is tense and the whole matter is intriguing enough to keep you watching until the end of the unusual - if that a double twist is completely unexpected. Holmes very nice adventure, and rhythm and entertaining. |
| Movie attendance in the late 1930's and 40's thought this team of players who perform exactly how Sherlock Holmes is supposed to be in real life. Basil Rathbone (Sherlock Holmes), "The Black Cat ','41 always gave an excellent performance and appearance added greatly to its role as the famous detective of English London, England. Nigel Bruce (Dr. John H. Watson) "The corn is green ','45 played the companion of Holmes and seems, at times, goofy. This whole film is about a long train journey, and the functioning of the compartments and even looking in a coffin. Alan Mowbray, (Maj.Duncan-Bleek), "I wake up screaming,"'41 was a great supporting role and Dr. Watson keeps busy playing Gin Rummy during the "Lionel train," Black & White! Skelton Knaggs, (Sands ), "Bedlam",'46, put her ugly face in the plot and as always gave a great supporting role. If you love Holmes Classic Films and a veteran of these great players, this is just one of the great films of Rathbone Bruce and appear on! |
| Slight spoilers ahead *** *** At night terror is a movie that I've seen four times, now that I have it on DVD. One thing I'm learning from my growing DVD collection and it is this: Always see a movie twice before writing a review of it! Night of terror directed by Roy William Neill is one example. This film is more impressive with each. I look at my comments on the terror at night after viewing the first time and I cringe! Through the night terror does not impress me much the first time I saw him. It seemed to be a predictable and boring tale of murder on a train made without much suspense, action or character development. As I said before, see a movie twice before writing a review of it. At night terror is growing on me. It's more interesting every time I see and I am glad that I have in my DVD collection. The mood is great. The idea on the behavior and actions of the characters after the film displays increases. I agree with another reviewer who noted that the film is better to a second window. The completion and the solution of the crime is surprising thus increasing the watchability of terror at night I become more familiar with the film. I am beginning to appreciate the performances of the actors and the director of competition At night the terror seems like I would like to see a movie only once, when I saw him for the first time. It has now become a movie I hope to see again and understand the affection of other reviewers have the quality of the Basil Rathbone / Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes entry. |
| This Basil Rathbone, Sherlock Holmes adventure involves a lot of suspects in a train, each searching for culprits that the viewer is really hesitant to blame it tries to steal a valuable diamond, "The Star of Rhodesia." With all of these suspects (who are fun to see), there are a number of turns every five minutes to guess all of us. There is a lot of action, but only enough to keep things lively. Once again, Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, "provides the humor with his mumbling and bumbling on board the train. It's always fun to see the equally-bumbling Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey) as well. What is really appreciates the fine transfer from the UCLA 35 mm "restored" process team did in this record. It looks very good. Speaking of looks, there is a very attractive woman on board, Rene Godfrey, but she must have come as part of the saw because she is not much of an actress. It did not matter, did not have a lot of lines. The wrap at the end was a bit fast, but overall I have no complaints about this entry Holmes. I'd like to see him several times and always enjoy it. |
| Or so the trailer of terror of the night was also "a thrill of a mile to 90 miles per hour." This means that with a little "run" time of 57 minutes should have been 85.5 emotion, and not this amazing feat of doing the mathematical calculation Col. Sebastian Moran me? I have always enjoyed this penultimate Rathbone Holmes movie, although my daughter (Chunky chops) has always been rather by dull than ever and only watches again, because usually we have seen the last twelve departures in quick succession. Rathbone was certainly get fed up with the paper and for now showed. However, it is a nice whodunnit, with many scenes and accents, either to admire or cry. Universal could not have had a great bill for the sets, as almost all the action aboard a train - from London to Scotland, where a murder is committed to take possession of private property a huge diamond. Aside from its lack of the only other thing that let TBN slightly down for me is to fight climate - where the fantasy becomes far-fetched that, ultimately, not sequiteur think! A good bit of film for the discerning viewer that, paradoxically, does not want to think too much, but simply Revel in the atmosphere and excitement of 85.5 persecution! |
