  In my opinion, Basil Rathbone will always be the best Sherlock Holmes. No other actor even comes close!😁

  People might be interested to know that Rathbone, Bruce and Henry Daniell, who plays Moriarty, all served with distinction in the British Army in the First World War.  Bruce and  Daniell were both seriously wounded and were invalided out of the army, Bruce being wheelchair bound for some time, while Rathbone was awarded the Military Cross for bravery.

  What I love is how clearly the actors and actresses speak - no swallowed vowels or mumbling. You catch every word. So different to many of today's movies.

  Mr. Rathbone came to Lubbock, Texas, with his one-man show, An Evening with Basil Rathbone, in 1962.  He was an exquisite gentleman to everyone, including two hours he gave us at a reception in Texas Tech's Student Union Bldg.  Everyone was grateful to have met this elegant and refined star, whose performance was an unforgettable night of theatre all acting students learned from.

  Basil and Nigel are the perfect combination of sleuth and humor. They are sorely missed.

  My heart goes out to Mrs Hudson for all those steps she climbed to care for Holmes and Watson

  I absolutely loved the meeting between Holmes and Moriarty! Such a sophisticated and subtle, but civilized exchange between two mortal enemies. And so well acted by Rathbone and Daniell. They were well matched!

  &quot;Very decent of you Old Chap, I must say&quot;<br>Watson, when he found out Holmes gave up Moriarty, to save him. <br>Beautifully English in it&apos;s sentiment, and then Holmes&apos; response...<br>&quot;Can&apos;t afford to lose you, Old Fellow&quot;<br> It shows a brotherly love, perfectly executed, without being overly sappy. I love these films.

  I absolutely adore these classic B&amp;W films. Why do they please me so much more than modern films?

  I watched these films as a child growing up and loved them. Today I love them even more. I don&apos;t believe there will ever be 2 actors more perfectly paired. I pray no one ever colorized these classics, it would destroy them.
