Viewing Notes

The only downside to watching Sherlock Holmes: Terror by Night on Instant Watch is that once you’ve seen all the available Basil Rathbone Holmes films available, there are no more to watch. Hope Netflix adds more soon because I can watch these every day. This 1946 installment is particularly good caper on a train w/a sultry Renee Godfrey.
