The Good Comrades are a collection of varied gentlemen who crave one thing - solitude. They reside at Drearcliff House, ancestral home of their eldest member. All seems serene and convivial until one by one the members begin to perish in the most grisly of manners. Foul play is suspected by the Good Comrades’ insurance agent, who turns to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson for guidance.

Viewing Notes
Another Sherlock Holmes flick from the Basil Rathbone collection and perhaps my favorite of this batch I’ve seen recently. In this story a group of old affluent men form a “Good Comrade” club and move into this old mansion in Scotland. One by one they get killed off a la Ten Little Indians and Sherlock Holmes is on the case. Plenty of red herrings.
