In sight

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1943)

This is the fourth film in the series of Holmes films starting Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Holmes is on war duty again and this time it is saving a new bomb sight from the Nazi's and Moriarty.

Even with this film's short run time nearly half the film is over before the actual mystery starts which means the solution has to be worked through rather quickly and as a consequence is not especially interesting. There are a few coincidences which do not really improve the nature of the plot either really. In the end this is just another quick entry into the franchise.

3/5
