Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Dalbert Pringle (*Movie quote*) - "Pip! Pip! Cheerio!"1946's "Terror By Night" is definitely not Film Noir. No way. It's a "Sherlock Holmes" crime-drama starring Basil Rathbone as everyone's favourite, Victorian-era, super-sleuth.On a speeding night-train heading from London to Edinburgh, Scotland - The priceless "Star of Rhodesia" diamond goes missing - And it's now up to the dynamic duo of Holmes and Watson to sift through a bevy of suspicious characters in order to recover this precious gem.Filled to overflowing with brilliant deductions, shadowed mystery, and deadly intrigue - "Terror By Night" moves along at a very brisk pace with its brief, 60-minute running time.

TM_Rezzek Good entry in the series. Roy William Neil frames and stages the action expertly on the train, and the repeated stock footage inserts don't distract too much. BIGGEST LIABILITY: Renee Godfrey as Vivian Vedder; her terrible British accent makes Dick Van Dyke in 'Mary Poppins' sound authentic. Everyone else in the cast is terrific, especially the woefully underused Skelton Knaggs in a bit part; he definitely puts the 'creep' in 'creepy.' Overall, a good example of what good, solid, studio craftsmanship could accomplish when a team worked together. In fact, Nigel Bruce once commented that he and Rathbone would be invited to see the rushes by Roy William Neil and allowed to make suggestions (sourse: basilrathbone.net.)

utgard14 Penultimate Rathbone Holmes film sees Sherlock and Watson on a train trying to prevent the theft of a priceless diamond and figure out who murdered the son of the diamond's owner. I love train movies so perhaps that's why this one's always been a sentimental favorite of mine. Last of the series to feature Dennis Hoey's Inspector Lastrade. Lots of colorful characters as red herrings. Who the culprit turns out to be is rather obvious but there's an added twist that makes it pretty cool for fans of the series. Renee Godfrey is nice on the eyes but uses one of the worst British accents I've ever heard. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are excellent, as always. Bruce is especially fun in his interrogations. A little more comedy than usual in this one but it works well. A very entertaining movie.

lagudafuad Terror by Night is the thirteenth of the Sherlock Holmes film series to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and was directed by Roy William Neill. It is based on the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the although the movie's story is an original, it borrowed plot elements from some of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mystery writings, which are The Adventure of the Empty House, The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax, and The Sign of the Four.The movie has more twist and turns than a door knob, when you think things are going this way, the writer (Frank Gruber) takes you on another turn. Shot mostly on a train set, I have to give kudos to the cinematography, as at no point in the movie do you feel any form of cramps in the shots. Then the screenplay also, the twists are so much that the writer has to be at the top of his game not to live too much loose ends that we the viewers don't get lost.Then there is the obvious switch that Sherlock did when he was shown the diamond, you will notice the switch, which at first I wondered why they made it noticeable, not knowing that it was all part of a big plot.The movie's plot is about a diamond, the diamond is so valuable that the owner's son hired Sherlock Holmes to guard it while it is been taking to Scotland on a train ride.While on the train, the diamond gets stolen and a murder is committed, since the train is still in motion it is obvious that the murderer is still on board the train. Now Holmes and Watson have to find the murderer before the train makes its final stop.The movie did show a sort of lack of emotion in the character of Lady Margaret, although it was part of the plot, as it is commented by the other characters in the movie, it didn't go well with me the viewer, although death is expected at some time, the death of Roland was a turn off for me as it was not expected at all.The movie's twist and turns are worth seeing although the movie is not as captivating or as fun as Pursuit to Algiers, it did show good writing and direction in the part of Frank Gruber and William Neill.It is a nice DVD to get.www.lagsreviews.com
