Trama
Lo sapevi?
- QuizThe shot of the "grim old house perched high upon a cliff on the west coast of Scotland" was also used in La voce del terrore (1942). The house in the shot could not possibly be the Alastair home because, firstly, it is a church and not a house, and, secondly, close inspection reveals that the front of the house is in ruins.
- BlooperAs the murders took place in Scotland, a local policeman would have been sent to the crime scene, not Inspector Lestrade from London. The local constabulary contacted Scotland Yard/Inspector Lestrade at the behest of Sherlock Holmes. It is unlikely a policeman would have been sent from London to the north of Scotland during wartime, even at the request of Sherlock Holmes.
- Citazioni
Sherlock Holmes: Murder is an insidious thing, Watson. Once a man has dipped his fingers in blood, sooner or later he'll feel the urge to kill again.

Recensione in evidenza
A club of retired rich men called "The Good Comrades" lives at an isolated Scottish castle. One by one the men are being killed off and an insurance agent believes one of them is responsible. Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) investigate but fail to prevent more murders from occurring. Soon they are joined by Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey), who will undoubtedly get to the bottom of things ("Suffering cats! What IS going on here?!?").
Fun Sherlock Holmes movie from Universal, the eighth in their series (tenth overall, counting the first two Fox films). It's loosely based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "Five Orange Pips" story. Really the only similarity is the murder victims receiving envelopes with orange seeds before they're killed. That story is hardly one of Conan Doyle's best, by the way. The series regulars Rathbone, Bruce, and Hoey are all great. The supporting cast is made up of good character actors like Holmes Herbert, Paul Cavanagh, Harry Cording, and Aubrey Mather. Solid direction from Roy William Neill with interesting camera-work from Virgil Miller. Nicely paced with great "old dark house" atmosphere. Not the best of the series but a very entertaining one.
