Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943) is a WWII spy thriller you can watch online on iFILM, starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Director Roy William Neill moved the detective out of Victorian London and into wartime America.
A British agent carrying a microfilm of a vital document vanishes somewhere en route to Washington. Before Holmes can find the man, he has to answer a harder question: did the agent manage to pass the film to someone else before he was taken? The trail leads through the city's well-appointed drawing rooms, where enemy operatives have settled comfortably among polite society.
This was the seventh entry in Universal's long-running series — Rathbone and Bruce made fourteen films together between 1939 and 1946, and by this point they were loose and confident in these roles. Brisk at seventy-one minutes, and it delivers exactly what it promises: Holmes, a wartime puzzle, and a tidy resolution. Stream Sherlock Holmes in Washington (1943) online on iFILM.
