The quality of most of the movie prints used to record this set is so bad that the only way this set would be worth the money is if they gave it away! The condition of these old movies was far too deteriorated to have been marketed without first being restored. They are difficult to watch, and some are so bad that they are headache-inducing. As far as acting and content go, the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce movies are the best of the set. Rathbone and Bruce were the best Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson of all time. Even with the bad transfers, you can tell the difference between Rathbone's Holmes and that of the other actors who portray Holmes in this set. Next to Rathbone, Arthur Wontner's Holmes is flat and lack-luster. He is missing the color, mystery, sharpness and nuance of the character that Rathbone brings to it. And the other Holmes actors in this set don't do much better. In addition, the color and humor that Nigel Bruce brings to Dr. Watson is unmatched by any other actor. But I don't even recommend this 10 Movie set for those who want to sample the Rathbone/Bruce movies. The poor quality of the prints will distract you from the excellence of the movies. If you have ever watched a Rathbone/Bruce movie and loved it, the set to get is "Basil Rathbone: The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection". That set contains every Sherlock Holmes movie made by them, and every movie has been remastered and they are crisp and clean. I would give that set 5 stars. The 5 "bonus" 1/2 hour episodes of the 1950's Sherlock Holmes TV series starring Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford are o.k. I like their portrayal of Holmes and Watson better than all others except for Rathbone and Bruce. The print quality is much better than the movies in the set, but my impression is that 1/2 hour was not enough time to develop a mystery episode that would do justice to the Holmes character. But if you are interested in this TV series you can find the complete set for equal or less money than this box set is selling for! So the "bonus" TV episodes are no reason to purchase this 10 Movie set. Conclusion: Not Recommended!Read full review
