Sherlock Holmes - Voice Of Terror/Secret Weapon DVD

The Secret Weapon
Based loosely on Conan Doyle's "The Dancing Men". This excellent Holmes mystery introduces the character of Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey) to the Basil Rathbone series. Sherlock Holmes shows his mastery of disguise in this film set in 1940's war torn London. Our sleuth is now involved in foiling an attempt by the Nazis to steal an experimental bomb site. Holmes battles the evil Professor Moriarty to save the British war effort and utters the famous lines "This fortress - built by Nature for herself, this blessed plot, this Earth, this realm, this England". No one read these lines with such perfection as Basil Rathbone does in this memorable film.

On the first night of their enquiry, Holmes and Watson find a dying man on their doorstep. Holmes and Watson must hurry to solve a complicated puzzle of terrorism and espionage.
