A delightfully spooky murder mystery, this may be the best Sherlock Holmes movie yet (the best, that is, with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce). An exclusive club of men housed in an old castle are mysteriously being killed one by one ... right after receiving an envelope containing nothing but orange pips. Besides being a great old house thriller, the best thing about this movie is that all of the clues are there for us to solve the mystery on our own - matching wits with Holmes, as it were. You can ask nothing better from a mystery. Basil Rathbone is perfect as Holmes and Nigel Bruce is a wonderful Watson, bringing a comic edge to the proceedings. By all means, get this one for your collection.
