Pursuit to Algiers (1945)

<p>Anchors aweigh! We&apos;re setting sail on a mystery ship! And a celebrity cruise at that, featuring famed detective Sherlock Holmes!<br/><br/>Sound fun? Well, <em>Pursuit to Algiers</em>, a 1945 Holmes picture starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, never arrives at its intended destination. This Roy William Neill-directed flick is a sinking ship, if we ever saw one.<br/><br/>Basically, Holmes and Watson are tasked with safely transporting a European princeling back to his country of origin in order to ... save democracy? Yeah, we don&apos;t get it either. Everybody ends up on a cruise ship, and it gets stupider from there. <br/><br/>Listen to Áine and Kevin pursue diverse topics like the difference between Roman Catholic and Baptist services, &quot;poppers,&quot; and the promise of a Dukes of Hazzard-Sherlock Holmes crossover. We&apos;ll share why Sherlock&apos;s ship-side shortcomings have us feeling salty. <br/><br/>Follow us on the usual social media suspects:</p><ul><li><a href='https://www.facebook.com/Mystery-to-Me-Podcast-105987494771196'>Facebook</a></li><li><a href='https://twitter.com/mystery_to_me_'>Twitter</a></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/mysterytomepodcast/'>Instagram</a></li></ul><p>And send us mysterious and intriguing missives at mysterytomepodcast@gmail.com.<br/><br/><em>Mystery to Me is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.</em></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
