Joan Fontaine plays the unnamed narrator, a young woman who works as a companion to the well-to-do Mrs. Van Hopper (Florence Bates). She meets the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier) in Monte Carlo, where ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £9.74!
2	Suspicion (1941) more movies like this directed by Alfred Hitchcock featuring Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine, Cedric Hardwicke, Nigel Bruce, Dame May Whitty Wealthy, sheltered Joan Fontaine is swept off her feet by charming ne'er-do-well Cary Grant.

3	Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943) more movies like this directed by Roy William Neill featuring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Hillary Brooke, Milburn Stone, Arthur Margetson There are those who consider Sherlock Holmes Faces Death to be the best of Universal's Holmes series, though others hold out for 1944's The Scarlet Claw. Based loosely on Conan Doyle's The Musgrave Ritual, the plot finds Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Watson (Nigel Bruce) being summoned to the Musgrave estate when several mysterious murders occur. By ... see all copies from £11.14! new only from £12.70!
4	The Blue Bird (1940) more movies like this directed by Walter Lang featuring Shirley Temple, Spring Byington, Nigel Bruce, Gale Sondergaard, Eddie Collins When Darryl F. Zanuck's arrangement to loan Shirley Temple to MGM as star of The Wizard of Oz fell through, Zanuck hastily assembled a lavish Technicolor vehicle for his diminutive star which, he hoped, would match Wizard in popularity and appeal. The result was The Blue Bird, adapted from the allegorical stage play by Maurice Maeterlinck ... see all copies from £3.37! new only from £7.59!
5	Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1942) more movies like this directed by Roy William Neill featuring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Kaaren Verne, Lionel Atwill, William Post, Jr. The second of Universal's "modernized" Sherlock Holmes films pits the Great Detective (Basil Rathbone, of course) against that "Napoleon of Crime," Professor Moriarty (Lionel Atwill). Surpassing his previous skullduggery, Moriarty has now aligned himself with the Nazis and has dedicated himself to stealing a top-secret bomb sight developed by ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £3.69!
6	The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) more movies like this directed by Sidney Lanfield featuring Richard Greene, Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Lionel Atwill, John Carradine, Wendy Barrie Though it takes a few liberties with the Arthur Conan Doyle original -- not the least of which is turning Sherlock Holmes into the second lead -- The Hound of the Baskervilles ranks as one of the best screen versions of this oft-told tale. After learning the history of the Baskerville curse from the hirsute Dr. Mortimer (Lionel Atwill), Sherlock ... see all copies from £7.30! new only from £8.50!
7	Dressed to Kill (1946) more movies like this directed by Roy William Neill featuring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Patricia Morison, Harry Cording, Frederic Worlock Based on the prolific Sir Arthur Conan Doyle mysteries, Sherlock Holmes is on the job again. This time the inmate of a British prison has incorporated stolen Bank of England engraving plates into a series of music boxes he has made and multiple criminals are out to find them. Holmes must be first. It's a weak, thin plot for the final of the Holmes ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £3.58!
8	The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) more movies like this directed by Alfred L. Werker featuring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Ida Lupino, Alan Marshal, E.E. Clive, Terry Kilburn Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce make their second screen appearances as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Ostensibly based on the stage play by William Gillette, the film owes nothing to the play beyond the characters of Holmes, Watson, Billy the page boy and Professor Moriarty. Played with relish (and a bit of ... see all copies from £1.59! new only from £2.78!
9	The Chocolate Soldier (1941) more movies like this directed by Roy Del Ruth featuring Nelson Eddy, Rise Stevens, Nigel Bruce, Florence Bates, Dorothy Gilmore This remake of Ferenc Molnar's play The Guardsmen focuses on an opera star (Nelson Eddy) who tests the fidelity of his wife (Rise Stephens) by wooing her in disguise. The film was nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Sound and Best Score. John Bush, All Movie Guide see all copies from £6.56!
10	Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (1942) more movies like this directed by John Rawlins featuring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Evelyn Ankers, Reginald Denny, Thomas Gomez From the first frame of its opening credits, Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror promises (and subsequently delivers) mystery and thrills several layers deep -- following a short prologue intended to introduce Holmes to contemporary England (circa 1942), there is a series of terror broadcasts from Germany, announcing destruction throughout the ... see all copies from £3.82! new only from £12.29!
11 view cover	The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Patric Knowles, Henry Stephenson, Donald Crisp, Nigel Bruce Of the many film versions of Alfred Lord Tennyson's narrative poem, 1936's Charge of the Light Brigade has the least relationship to the facts concerning the famous 19th century British military blunder in the Crimea. Reflecting the popularity of 1935's Lives of A Bengal Lancer, the film uses the climactic charge as the culmination of events which ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £10.50!

Ginger Rogers plays showgirl Roxie Hart, whose no-good husband kills a man and insists that Roxie take the blame, since juries seldom send a woman to the chair. She agrees, figuring that the publicity will be beneficial ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £5.16!
13 view cover	Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943) more movies like this directed by Roy William Neill featuring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Marjorie Lord, Henry Daniell, George Zucco One of the silliest and most unbelievable of the Universal Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock Holmes in Washington is also undeniably one of the most enjoyable. The story gets under way when an Allied spy (an unbilled Gerald Hamer, one of this series' "regulars") smuggles a valuable piece of microfilm into the U.S. The film is hidden in a matchbook ... see all copies from £6.26! new only from £11.41!

15 view cover	Lassie Come Home (1943) more movies like this directed by Fred Wilcox featuring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Elsa Lanchester, Nigel Bruce Female dogs tend to shed while in heat; this is why all the collies who've played doggy heroine Lassie in the movies have actually been well-disguised males. A magnificent animal named Pal was the screen's first Lassie in 1943's Lassie Come Home. Set in Yorkshire during the first World War, the film gets under way when the poverty-stricken parents ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £5.40!

Van Dyke featuring Margaret O'Brien, Laraine Day, Robert Young, Fay Bainter, Nigel Bruce This wartime weeper could just as well have been titled Stardom for Margaret , inasmuch as it solidified the popularity of that remarkable child actress Margaret O'Brien.
