Trama
Lo sapevi?
- QuizDespite the orange pips, the film is nothing like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes short story "The Five Orange Pips". That is at least partially because the main mystery in the original story is the odd writing of "KKK" in a letter that contained the orange pips, which stands for the notorious American white supremacist/terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan. By 1945, the worldwide notoriety of that group made a faithful adaptation of the original story pointless for the audience and any adaptation of any kind required an extensive rewrite to use it.
- BlooperAs the murders took place in Scotland, a local policeman would have been sent to the crime scene, not Inspector Lestrade from London. The local constabulary contacted Scotland Yard/Inspector Lestrade at the behest of Sherlock Holmes. It is unlikely a policeman would have been sent from London to the north of Scotland during wartime, even at the request of Sherlock Holmes.
- Citazioni
Sherlock Holmes: Murder is an insidious thing, Watson. Once a man has dipped his fingers in blood, sooner or later he'll feel the urge to kill again.

Recensione in evidenza
Sherlock Holmes and the House of Fear recently came on BBC2 and one of the reviews in the TV listings says this was one of the poorer Bathbone Holmes movies. I disagree and this is one of the better ones and certainly one of the creepiest.
In this one, Holmes and Watson are sent to Scotland to investigate a series of murders in a rather creepy and remote mansion, Drearcliff House. The Good Comrades Club are dining here and it looks like somebody has it in for these men, as more are killed and Dr Watson nearly becomes a victim of this killer too. One clue regarding these murders is orange pips. The investigation then takes Holmes into a secret passage leading to the basement of Drearcliff House...
This is very spooky in parts, helped by the howling wind and nighttime scenes and the location of the mansion.
As usual, Basil Rathobone is joined by Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson and the rest of the cast includes Dennis Hoey, Paul Cavanagh and Holmes Herbert.
This is a must for everyone Sherlock Holmes fan. One of the best of the series.
Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.
