Sherlock Holmes Faces Death

Sherlock Holmes Faces Death

Sherlock Holmes Faces Death is the sixth film in the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce series of Sherlock Holmes films. Made in 1943, it is a loose adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes story "The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual." Its three immediate predecessors in the film series were World War II spy adventures with Holmes and Watson as characters, but this one marks a return to the pure mystery form. Though several characters are military men and there are frequent mentions of the war, it is not the focus of the story. This is the second of three movies that Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce and Hillary Brooke appeared together; in 1942 Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror and in 1945 The Woman in Green.

Inspector Lestrad:
I'm lost! I'm all turned around!

Sherlock Holmes:
You've been like that for years. Get him out of there, will you, Mrs. Howells, and get him a saucer of milk.

Sherlock Holmes:
There's a new spirit abroad in the land. The old days of grab and greed are on their way out. We're beginning to think of what we *owe* the other fellow, not just what we're compelled to give him. The time is coming, Watson, when we cannot fill our bellies in comfort while the other fellow goes hungry, or sleep in warm beds while others shiver in the cold. And we shan't be able to kneel and thank God for blessings before our shining altars while men anywhere are kneeling in either physical or spiritual subjection.

Dr. John H. Watson:
You may be right, Holmes... I hope you are.

Sherlock Holmes:
And, God willing, we'll live to see that day, Watson.
