The master detective Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and his faithful cohort Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) are back, restored in 35mm by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and digitally re-mastered. This newly restored version of the classic film includes the period war bond tag, studio logo and credits from its original theatrical release. Filled with ominous shadows and interesting camera angles, the visual beauty of the film in 35mm is stunning. "The Woman In Green" (1945) was the last film in the Basil Rathbone/Sherlock Holmes series to be written by Bertam Millhauser. Four women are murdered and, curiously, all four have been left without their right forefinger. Scotland Yard concludes that a madman is to blame, but Sherlock Holmes suspects otherwise and soon deduces a criminal mastermind is at work. The illustrious sleuth has few clues to lead him towards another solved case, but he soon discovers a web of blackmail and hypnotism unlike anything he has ever seen. Holmes fears that only one man, his archenemy, Professor Moriarty (Henry Daniell) could be involved in such an evil scheme. [None specified]. Presented in Black & White; English Subtitles. Minimize

Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective is a full motion video (FMV) based video game released by ICOM Simulations for the Sega CD and TurboGrafx 16 CD-ROM. It would later be ported to DOS, Microsoft Windows, and Apple Macintosh with all versions being distributed on CD-ROM. The game uses live actors and sets as you control Sherlock Holmes and his longtime partner Dr. Watson, trying to solve three separate crimes by visiting various locations, listening to the dialogue, reading the included mock London newspapers, and, when one gets enough evidence, answering the judge's questions. Cases At the beginning of each case a full motion video clip depicts Holmes and Watson meeting a client and learning a few background clues about the case. Then the player must visit a particular location or person, read the London newspapers for clues or ask one of the young Baker Street Irregulars to investigate. The object of each case is to gather enough clues in the shortest time possible, then go before a judge who will then ask you to answer the important questions about the case. If you are successful, a full motion video clip will take you back to Holmes' and Watson's study where they will review the events that transpired, and Dr. Watson will inform the player of his or her score, based on the length of time it took to solve the case. There are three cases in this volume: "The Mummy's Curse", which concerns the gruesome deaths of three men, supposedly by an ancient mummy with powers; "The Mystified Murderess", about a convicted woman who can not recall killing her beau and is convinced she didn't do it; and, finally, "The Tin Soldier", about an old General whose lusty past comes back to haunt him, and through a series of unfortunate circumstances, is murdered.
