16. Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon
Roy William Neill, 1943

Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) must protect a scientist and his fancy new bomb sight from the Nazis, which becomes all the more difficult after they team up with his old nemesis, Professor Moriarty (Lionel Atwill)

Well, it was a tad better than the last one I saw (keeping in mind that I think less of that last one now than I did when I saw it), but still not really any good. Rathbone is still terrific, and is really the only reason to watch it - but there are better Holmes movies with him out there (or so I've been told). There's just not much to say about this one.
