*** Very Mild Spoiler Contained Herein ***
The Woman In Green is an enjoyable detective story. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are good as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
The standout for me in the film is Hillary Brook. She nails her part. It's thrilling to see the cat and mouse game played between her character and Sherlock Holmes. I do think Henry Danielle as Professor Moriarity could have done better. I would like to have seen him portrayed as more sinister and his part fleshed out to a greater degree.
I tend to agree with those who think the film was a bit too short and the conclusion a bit too quickly arrived at. Unfortunately, I did notice at least one plot hole in the movie. See if you can find it.
All in all this a good entry in the Sherlock Holmes Basil Rathbone films, but not the best. I rate it a 76/100.
