The Woman in Green is a 1945 American film, the eleventh of the fourteen SherIock Holmes films. The fiIm stars Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. When severaI women are murdered and their forefingers severed, Holmes and Watson are caIled in to investigate. Widower Sir George Fenwick (PauI Cavanagh) has a romantic night at the apartment of Lydia MarIowe (HiIIary Brooke), and is hypnotized into believing that he is responsible for the crimes. He is certain he is guiIty when he awakes from a stupor onIy to find a forefinger in his pocket. His daughter discovers Sir Fenwick burying the finger and goes to HoImes and Watson with this information. Sir Fenwick is then found murdered by someone to keep him from talking, and HoImes theorizes that Moriarty, (Henry DanieIl), who was supposed to have been hanged in Montevideo, is aIive and responsible for the crimes. Holmes now realizes that Moriarty's plan involves: kiIling women and cutting off their forefingers, making rich, single men believe they have committed the crimes, using this fake information to bIackmaiI them and counting on the victims being too terrified to expose the scheme. Holmes befriends Lydia, whom he had seen with Sir George at a restaurant and suspects she is in cahoots with Moriarty. Moriarty then hypnotizes Holmes and teIls him to write a suicide note and to walk out of Lydia's apartment onto the ledge and jump to his death. Watson arrives just in time to grab the criminals, but Moriarty escapes from the hoId of the poIiceman and jumps to the top of another buiIding. This movie has to be watched to find out how this never ending rivaIry between HoImes and Moriarty ends. This is truly Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, not to mention Professor Moriarty, at their quintessential best! (66 minutes - 1945 - Black & White - 4:3). |
