With an involved, detailed mystery and an elegant adversary played by Gale Sondergaard, this is one of the most entertaining features in the Sherlock Holmes series of movies starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The story gets a little far-fetched, but it is quite interesting. It is loaded with plot devices pulled from several different Arthur Conan Doyle stories, and it's interesting to see how many you can catch. It also features the usual pleasant camaraderie between Rathbone and Bruce, plus Dennis Hoey as Inspector Lestrade.
As "The Spider Woman", Sondergaard creates a memorable opponent for Holmes. The slightly exaggerated role cannot have been much of a challenge for such a fine actress, but she puts her heart into it, and looks as if she is enjoying herself - as her character certainly is. By creating such a dynamic character, she also helps make the complicated story seem more plausible, and it creates a worthy challenge for Holmes.
The movie also contains the amusing bits of dialogue and detail that characterized so many of the movies in the series. The climactic sequence, in particular, is a very good combination of suspense and wit. It is a fitting way to cap off an enjoyable entry in the popular series.

这才是好的改编。本片情节段落分别来自《空屋》、《魔鬼之足》、《四签名》、《红寡妇》(小柯南道尔的同人作品,基本是《斑点带子案》的重写),以一种极为巧妙精致的方式糅合在一起(也直接启发了BBC现代版的编剧)。华生难得在这个系列里不蠢笨一回。高潮段落那个打靶游戏太有趣了。

看的第一部BR版的福尔摩斯,没想到就看到了一部大规模融梗的作品;可惜波西米亚丑闻的主旨绝不是靠“如此狡猾和残忍,一定是女人所为”来推进探案;我自问为了避免陷入立场先行的泥潭,已经对电影里这类价值观的问题有极高的容忍度,但40年代把原作的主旨改成这个样子,实在是不可接受;愚蠢的美国人!

可以看到诸多原作的影子:《最后一案》、《空屋》、《四签名》、《斑点带子》《魔鬼之足》。福尔摩斯电影第一次引入女反派角色,伎俩+打靶桥段不错,值得一提的是,片中的蛇蝎美人由奥斯卡女配获得者Gale Sondergaard饰演,两年后她在《蜘蛛女归来》(非福尔摩斯题材)里又演了个类似的角色。

BR-9。很棒呀,一个小时之内融合了《最后一案》《空屋》《斑点带子》《四签名》和《魔鬼之足》,反派蛇(zhi)蝎(zhu)女的形象很经典,与福尔摩斯棋逢对手。华生没以前那么蠢了,就显得很可爱。雷斯垂德背后感激老福,老福一出现又和他拌嘴。BR福一如既往地冷静和处变不惊。

我喜欢BR版的这个故事:女版莫里亚蒂与福尔摩斯智力匹敌,斗智斗勇,结尾颇有悬念。时间在二战期间略奇怪,毕竟原著《最后一案》的时候,一战还没开打。福尔摩斯和华生的性格更像是独立宇宙的存在,和小说人设关系不大。致敬之处:开篇解释了福迷长期悬念:福尔摩斯没有参与开膛手杰克案件是因为身体问题。落入瀑布然后回归是致敬《空屋》(原著中书商确实是装扮),蜘蛛的利用方式是致敬《斑点带子案》(原著是蛇),侏儒的存在... 我喜欢BR版的这个故事:女版莫里亚蒂与福尔摩斯智力匹敌,斗智斗勇,结尾颇有悬念。时间在二战期间略奇怪,毕竟原著《最后一案》的时候,一战还没开打。福尔摩斯和华生的性格更像是独立宇宙的存在,和小说人设关系不大。致敬之处:开篇解释了福迷长期悬念:福尔摩斯没有参与开膛手杰克案件是因为身体问题。落入瀑布然后回归是致敬《空屋》(原著中书商确实是装扮),蜘蛛的利用方式是致敬《斑点带子案》(原著是蛇),侏儒的存在可能在致敬《四签名》,毒药是致敬《魔鬼之足》。 (展开)
