Customer Reviews of Sherlock Holmes - Dressed to Kill
Sad ending to series "Dressed to Kill" was the last of the Sherlock Holmes series for Universal. Sad to say, it's also the most lack-lustre and boring. Despite a terrific cast--Patricia Morrison, in particular, as the slinky villainess--the story plods along so slowly, with zero suspense, that you wonder how this quickie passed the approval of Universal executives. The plot revolves around music boxes but the plot has nothing to do with the title. On the cover of my budget Sherlock Holmes double-feature for $5.95, you see a great poster of Patricia Morrison, clad in furs and silks, with a gun ready to fire. And you get the impression that the movie has something to do with a sharply attired gun moll. I'm glad I only paid $5.95 for this episode in the usually entertaining HOlmes series. Oh, by the way, the second feature on my disc is "Terror in the Night," another boring episode that has absolutely nothing to do with the title.
Standard Holmes mystery
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce made their final big screen appearances as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in "Dressed to Kill," the twelfth film in Universal's series, and the fourteenth time the two actors brought Arthur Conan Doyle's heroes to vivid life on film.
Even 35 years before Brian DePalma's thriller of the same name, the title wasn't original, having been previously used for one of Lloyd Nolan's Michael Shayne private detective thrillers. There isn't much original about this entry, but even if it's a fairly standard series episode, it still has the always superb Rathbone and Bruce to recommend it, as well as a satisfying mystery for the two to unravel.
Although Rathbone left the series after this film and moved on to Broadway where he won a Tony Award, he didn't succeed in escaping Holmes, and would wear the deerstalker again on stage and in an unsold pilot for a TV series. He remains the definitive Sherlock Holmes.
