Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Hitchcoc Holmes versus the spies, again. Another one of those propaganda films with Holmes and Watson heading for Washington, D. C. Some of it is travelogue hokum with a sightseeing tour of the capitol city. There's the Lincoln Memorial! There's the Washington Monument! Put this silliness aside along with the two minute speech Holmes makes to Watson at the end, and it isn't a bad movie. There is an exchange of some microfilm tucked in a matchbook that is transferred to an unsuspecting young woman who is going to marry a military man. There are a whole herd of folks after that secret, but they don't know what form it has taken. The matchbook is transferred like a hot potato, hidden in plain sight. When the bodies start showing up, our boys enter the picture. There's nothing much new here other than pretty good atmosphere and the usual Holmes/Watson shtick. I really was aware that Watson is treated like a small child by our hero. He gets shushed, put down, talked about in front of others; it's really humiliating. The sad thing is that his character deserves it. Still, it works pretty well as grade B spy stuff.

AaronCapenBanner Roy William Neil directed this entry, not directly based on an original story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The setting is still WWII, and a British agent carrying a vital document is kidnapped by Axis powers, but are unable to locate the document. Sherlock Holmes(played by Basil Rathbone) & Doctor Watson(played by Nigel Bruce) are called in to investigate, and discover the document had been put on microfilm, and currently resides inside a matchbook, though they are the only ones who know that, and must race against time to save an innocent woman being held captive as well. Incongruous entry has Holmes more of a secret Agent than private detective, and is otherwise a bit too silly.

mrbill-23 Once again Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce deliver the goods in "Sherlock Holmes in Washington." I like this film from 1943.... A great cast that includes Henry Daniell, George Zucco and some other fine actors of note......If I have any gripe at all about the series of 'Holmes' films that Rathbone and Bruce made is, they are all between 60 to 75 minutes long.... To me, that means rather short... I'd prefer longer scripts and films that run at least 80 to 90 minutes long.... For the 1940s, that is a normal run......I love these old-time co-stars like "Henry Daniell, George Zucco, Lionel Atwill & Dennis Hoey." All them guys were pluses for the series of 'Holmes' films produced from 1939 to 1946...... Good quality there...MR.BILL

Michael O'Keefe SHERLOCK HOLMES IN WASHINGTON is one of the better Holmes and Watson capers. Directed by Roy William Neil, the master of deductive reasoning Sherlock Holmes(Basil Rathbone)and his often bumbling parter Dr. Watson(Nigel Bruce)make a trip to Washington, D.C. after a top-secret agent is kidnapped and murdered after passing off hidden valuable microfilm inside the cover of a matchbook. WWII Nazi spies use an antique furniture shop as a front for their misdeeds and acts of treason. Holmes is pretty hard to get the best of even on this side of the Atlantic. It is humorous that Watson is baffled by bubble gum. A young Marjorie Lord is very impressive. Also in the cast: Henry Daniell, George Zucco, John Archer and Thurston Hall.
