Martin (Technical Director) - - - - - - the story line and plot, As fast paced, tightly woven Sherlock Holmes mystery as you will find, Terror by Night tells of a famous jewel being transported from London to Edinburgh with the watchful eye of Sherlock Holmes and befuddled, faithful Watson in tow --- Along for the ride are Inspector Lestrade, arch criminal Colonel Sebastian Moran, a cast of eccentric, Victorian type characters including a wonderful professor of mathematics(not Moriarity), and a train that gives off the right mood for murder and intrigue entirely set on an express train and once again revolving on the theft of a very valuable diamond --- as Holmes and Dr. Watson are hired to keep an eye on the "Star of Rhodesia", a most precious jewel that travels from London to Edinburgh, along with its owner --- When the person who hired Sherlock Holmes is found murdered in his compartment, our master detective has to come up with some of his most amazing deduction skills --- Holmes' inimitable investigation techniques are as usual over the top, thanks to a couple of effective and innovating elements, avid fans of the Sherlock Holmes series could righteously claim that "Terror by Night", is one of the best films in the series! --- The train setting creates a claustrophobic atmosphere and writer Frank Gruber put a lot of effort in the characterizations of the supportive cast, making all of them look suspicious --- Fans of classic cinema, horror and film-noir should all get aboard as we pull out of the station for another classic case of Sherlock Holmes.

Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes --- All but four stories are narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two are narrated by Holmes himself, and two others are written in the third person --- The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890 --- The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialised novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930 --- The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Rathbone is most widely recognized for his starring role as Sherlock Holmes in fourteen movies between 1939 and 1946, all of which co-starred Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson --- The first two films, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (both 1939) were set in the late-Victorian times of the original stories --- Both of these were made by Twentieth Century Fox, later installments, made at Universal Studios, beginning with Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (1942), were set in contemporary times, and some had World War II-related plots --- Rathbone and Bruce also reprised their film roles in a radio series, The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939 - 1946) --- (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Legend Films can restore, colorize and release many of the classic earliest black and white films --- a patented coloring and remastering process makes each film picture perfect plus more vivd than ever --- no one can resist collecting every title that Legend Films releases.
