Basil Rathbone Shorts
Description: The Basil Rathbone The Hound Of The Baskervilles design is inspired by Sidney Lanfield's 1939 adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic The Hound Of The Baskervilles starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson investigate the legend of a supernatural hound, a beast that may be stalking a young heir on the fog-shrouded moorland that makes up his estate.
Description: The Sherlock Holmes And The Spider Woman Design is inspired by the 1943 mystery film starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson. The seventh in a series of Universal Holmes movies featuring Rathbone and Bruce, Sherlock Holmes And The Spider Woman features elements from numerous original Conan Doyle stories including The Sign Of The Four, The Final Problem and The Adventure of the Devil's Foot, but with the setting updated to the then present day rather than the original Victorian setting.
Description: Rathbone and Bruce are the classic Holmes and Watson. Others have played the roles admirably and Bruce is often criticised for his bumbling Dr. Watson, but it's their off-screen friendship and the chemistry of Rathbone and Bruce that seeps through the celluloid and adds real flesh to the characters.

Description: Sherlock Holmes, who first appeared in publication in 1887, was featured in four novels and 56 short stories. Holmes worked as a detective for twenty-three years, with physician John Watson assisting him for seventeen. They were roommates before Watson's 1888 marriage and again after his wife's death. Their residence is maintained by their landlady, Mrs. Hudson. Most of the stories are frame narratives, written from Watson's point of view as summaries of the detective's most interesting cases. Holmes frequently calls Watson's writing sensational and populist, suggesting that it fails to accurately and objectively report the "science" of his craft.
Description: Conan Doyle repeatedly said that Holmes was inspired by the real-life figure of Joseph Bell, a surgeon at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, whom Conan Doyle met in 1877 and had worked for as a clerk. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing broad conclusions from minute observations.
Description: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892; the individual stories had been serialized in The Strand Magazine between July 1891 and June 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.
