Sherlock Holmes adventure -- the eleventh in the series starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson -- sees the detective on the trail of a sadistic woman killer ("the worst since Jack the Ripper") who carries away a forefinger from each of his victims.  If the final solution is understandably rather prosaic, it's a lot of fun getting there, as we follow Holmes and Watson to the Mesmer Club and a woman (Hillary Brooke, presumably in green) who practices hypnosis.  Atmospheric, sometimes even eerie, and with that wonderful Rathbone/Bruce interplay.  Also with Henry Daniell as Professor Moriarty.  Black and white.
