The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1929)
Sherlock Holmes, the great detective who is the artistic ancestor of the great Philo Vance, comes faintly back to life in this rather stiff and stilted picture. Clive Brook, with the traditional pipe and sideburns, plays Sherlock heavily. It is interesting to note the return of Harry T. Morey as Moriarty, an unbelievably vicious villain. Others are Betty Lawford and Donald Crisp. All Talkie.
