  The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes 1935

  ★★½ Watched 03 Jan 2023

  It's really a shame that Wontner's Holmes - which is first rate - is consistently undermined by theatrical stagings, poor production and an odd script that sees him absent for a significant percentage of the film (adapted, badly, from the weakest Holmes novel, The Valley of Fear).

  Obsession 1949

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Mar 2022

  This was a brilliantly crafted thriller. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Was mildly disappointed Basil Radford didn’t show up. A perfect ending.
