Compare Prices on Sherlock Holmes - The Scarlet Claw
On the surface, SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SCARLET CLAW is honest another entry in Universal’s Sherlock Holmes series. One could build an argument that it’s a Holmes-by-numbers production. Indeed, I can’t reflect of any major account element that wasn’t done in some earlier or later relate. There’s the ghostly apparition, the gross execute, the mysterious marshland, the secretive villagers, the disguises, etc. Yet, all the standard elements are done exceedingly well here. Everything is firing on all cylinders. It may not be the most recent of adventures, but it is one of the most appetizing.

THE SCARLET CLAW is an above-average atmospheric movie in a series that thrived on providing a grim, tense feeling. Director Roy William Neill was more than extinct to delivering a stark thriller, but he’s really going all out here. There’s nothing extremely out of the ordinary, which is perhaps why the movie is such a success. With no propaganda to ram through, no experimentation, and no surprises, the cast and crew can simply concentrate on what they do best — making a damn consuming movie.
The direction is splendid. The acting is up to it’s usual high standard. By this point, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce could play these characters in their sleep, so their performances are precisely what you would and should interrogate. Bruce’s Dr. Watson is again relegated to droll relief, but it’s a role he plays very well. The supporting cast is made up of the usual though-provoking character actors.

The script contains enough of the standard Sherlock Holmes elements for it to feel familiar, even considering that it is not a straight adaptation of chronicle actually written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Although I’ve not seen all of the Holmes Universal movies (I have watched most of them), this is the one I deem of as the standard by which all others are measured. It did a lot of the things we examine these movies to do and it did they very well. If you’re only eager in viewing one in this series, then a very strong case could be made for making this the one.
Here’s the very best of the Rathbone-Bruce Universal pictures. No, it’s not region in the marvelous Sherlockian period (none of the Universal films were), but it seems “timeless,” with no contemporary (1940s) references. It’s sunless, spooky fun…featuring a really well done MYSTERY. Some of the best banter between Rathbone and Bruce is in this film. And the terrible guy ranks up there with the best of the non-Moriarty movie Holmes villains. THIS is the Rathbone movie from the Universal series that I return to again and again. The DVD quality is splendid. No extras, but it’s a treat to have a terrific copy of this small gem.
