Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943)

<p>Pack up your pipe, magnifying glass, and deerstalker cap, and refill your Metro card — we&apos;re going to Washington D.C.!<br/><br/><em>Sherlock Holmes in Washington </em>is a 1943 film starring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Marjorie Lord, and George Zucco, and the fifth installment of the Roy William Neill series. And let&apos;s just say that, while subplots in &quot;A Study in Scarlet&quot; and &quot;The Valley of Fear&quot; do indicate that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was fascinated with America, this movie is ridiculous!  <br/><br/>The setup is simple: A British spy carrying key documents vanishes in Washington D.C. Naturally, Holmes is dispatched to the capital of the United States, along with his pal Watson. They&apos;ve got enemy agents to catch, and monuments to gawk at!<br/><br/>Tune in to hear Áine and Kevin riff on villainous lamp-phones, acceptable bridezilla-ing, orange drinks from the 1980s, and the jolly cruelty of one Dr. John Watson.  And check out this wacky film — truly the middle school Washington trip of the Sherlock Holmes universe! <br/><br/>Beware, this review contains spoilers!<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>
