When a number of attractive women are found dead and with fingers missing, Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) investigate. Though evidence points to a psychotic killer, Holmes begins to believe that there's more to the case than initially meets the eye, a notion that leads him to uncover the involvement of his archenemy, Professor Moriarty (Henry Daniell). Who is working with Moriarty on such a dastardly plot, and what are their motives?

No one does Holmes like Basil, and this ranks among the stronger of the series

3.5/5

It's one of the best in the series, partly because it strays from formula and partly because it summons some genuine mystery.

Enjoyable if rather perfunctory Sherlock Holmes film. Unlike the stories and films based on Conan Doyles originals, there is no real mystery here as to who is doing the murders (a gang led by Moriarty and a lovely female mesmeric) or how Holmes is going to crack the case. Yet, not bad for 60+ minutes. Much enhanced by the lovely Hillary Brooke.

Wonderful, just wonderful, Mr Morate gets his victims to kill under hypnosis, and then blackmails them, but will Holmes solve the mystery before another girl dies? Another fantastic classic

A better installment in this Sherlock Holmes series than most. Basil Rathbone is clever and charismatic as usual in portraying Sherlock Holmes. He plays it cool and charming, while genuinely seeming like the smartest man in the room. Nigel Bruce is hilarious as the bumbling, stuffy Dr. Watson. On the other hand, the devious Prof. Moriarty is played by the boisterous Henry Daniell. His cruel demeanor and sly nature is evident in Daniell's brilliant portrayal. This is certainly one of the best versions of Moriarty. Lastly, Hillary Brooke is sultry and distracting as Lydia Marlow. She pulls off being the femme fatale with a more sinister twist quite well. Brooke is a nice foil for Holmes and is mesmerizing whenever she is present on screen. In all, Sherlock Holmes and the Woman in Green is a very fun and mysterious movie. One of the finest in Rathbone and Bruce's series, this film takes unusual circumstances with fascinating angles. The neat cinematography melds well with the curious subject matter.
