Watchable mystery-drama with Arthur Wontner and Ian Fleming as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson respectively. A bit slow at times but I still was engaged enough with the mystery element and liked Wontner's portrayal of the classic character. **3.25/5**

Arthur Wontner ("Sherlock Holmes") and Ian Fleming ("Dr. Watson") really do foil well together as our deductive duo investigating a dastardly counterfeiting conspiracy conjured from the ever-devious mind of their nemesis "Prof. Moriarty" (? - that'd be telling...). Not unusually, this plot strays quite far from the original serial - as do the characterisations, but Wontner is strong as the sleuth ...
