The Woman in Green (1945)
This is the 11th film featuring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and not based on any of the original stories. Someone is out killing young women and removing a finger as a trophy, naturally the police are unable to solve the murders and Holmes is brought in to get to the bottom of it.
With a short run time and limited amount of sets you really get the feeling that this was knocked up to be a cheap instalment in a successful franchise. The plot is not too bad but does rely on an amount of coincidence and the fact that Holmes is essentially a super genius that can out think everyone.
2/5 completest fans might find this enjoyable but for most it is entirely miss-able.
