    Sherlock Holmes Collection

    You can order copies of all the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies in this set. These were redone at the UCLA film lab.

    Only 4 Sherlock Holmes movies lapsed into the public domain. There are 10 more that are in this set. I won’t ever show them here.

    Kevin recently I was introduced to this site by a Pal of mine Shooter Wilson and I have enjoyed hours of forgotten memories.Rathbone and Bruce to me were the undisputed Holmes and Watson. Your site is Magic.Keep up the good work.

    I can’t help noticing that most of the movies made about Sherlock Holmes have nothing to do with the books! It’s driving me crazy. They name the movies after the books but they are completely different. A study is Scarlet is a great example.
