Xlibris Sherlock Holmes: The Basil Rathbone Years & Other Films

For more than 100 years, the character of Sherlock Holmes has appeared in scores of films, as well as in a number of television series. For many people, the films made between 1939 and 1946, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes, with Nigel Bruce as his companion Dr. Watson, remain the most popular. ... Although there are a number of Sherlock Holmes film books, there has never been one devoted to the Rathbone series, in detail. In this book you will find complete cast lists for each film, along with a story synopsis and photographs. ...I feel it necessary to include a number of others as well, even though the emphasis of the book is still on the Rathbone series. -- Author's note/Acknowledgements.
