One of my personal favourites of the Sherlock Holmes cycle of movies starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. This time Holmes is trying to thwart a gang from stealing a priceless pearl. We get to see Holmes dress up as a befuddled clergyman, outwit a funny Inspector Lestrade, and meet Rondo Hatton's Creeper, a killer that breaks the backs of men with his very hands. Based on the story "The Case of the Six Napoleons," Holmes must locate the pearl that has been embedded in a bust of the French emperor. Rathbone and Bruce are again very affable and turn in their customary good performances. Dennis Hoey as Lestrade, I believe very undervalued in that role, injects a lot of life into this one. And Hatton, of course, just filmed by his shadow until the end, is a convincing film presence. Throw in lovely Evelyn Ankers as a woman out to outwit Holmes, and you have a good mix. 译文(2): 我个人最喜欢的福尔摩斯系列电影之一由巴兹尔 · 拉斯伯恩和奈杰尔 · 布鲁斯主演。这一次，福尔摩斯试图阻止一伙人偷走一颗无价的珍珠。我们可以看到福尔摩斯打扮成一个糊涂的牧师，智取一个有趣的加雷思·莱斯特拉德，还有朗多 · 哈顿扮演的爬行者，一个用双手打断男人背部的杀手。根据故事《六个拿破仑的案例》 ，福尔摩斯必须找到镶嵌在法国皇帝半身像中的珍珠。拉斯伯恩和布鲁斯再次变得非常和蔼可亲，他们一如既往地表现出色。丹尼斯 · 霍伊饰演的雷斯垂德，我相信这个角色被低估了，为这个角色注入了生命力。而哈顿，当然，只是由他的影子拍摄，直到最后，是一个令人信服的电影存在。再加上可爱的伊芙琳 · 安克斯扮演的女人来智取福尔摩斯，你就有了一个很好的组合。
