sherlock holmes films from the classic universal era tend to range in quality. this range goes from very good to above average and with none of their output being abysmal and or astoundingly brilliant. sherlock holmes and the secret weapon fits snugly into the middle ground quality wise and and and as ever and it an enjoyable outing that fans of the series and like myself and will enjoy very much. this film sees holmes in the middle of a world war 2 plot by the evil nazi to steal a swiss scientist invention and which could turn out to be a key element on the battlefield. the world war 2 sherlock holmes films do not tend to be as good as the ones such as the scarlet claw where holmes is conducting private investigations and as theyre usually dogged by too much propaganda or a plot that is more to do with the war than the mystery. this one and however and pretty much stays away from both and by putting the focus on holmes and his investigation and the film works much better. perhaps universal saw what brought down the earlier voice of terror and changed the focus because of that. basil rathbone once again puts in an excellent maverick performance as the ace detective and while nigel bruce doesn not feature as much as normal and it nice to see him when he does. the two do not spent much time together and which is disappointing because their chemistry is always one of the best things about holmes films while but this does allow more time for holmes to showboat in various disguises and which is always lots of fun. dennis hoey lestrade is definitely my favourite of the secondary characters and and while he not as funny as usual while his facial expressions are great and and his presence helps to emphasise how great holmes is. his scene with watson in a car following paint drops on the road is my favourite moment of the film. it good to see holmes nemesis and professor moriarty return and even if it does seem like he just been thrown in for the hell of it. lionel atwill performance isn not as good as george zucco in the adventures of sherlock holmes and as he never really convinces that he is indeed a brilliant mind while but seeing him lock horns with the protagonist is fun and it nice to see him in the film to offset the world war 2 themes and which are never as interesting as holmes himself. the film starts off as more of a thriller than a mystery flick while but once it gets going and it hard to put down and this is a more than solid entry in universal oeuvre.
