Wontner is Sherlock Holmes at the track
18 February 2019
Silver Blaze is also known as Murder at the Baskervilles, starring Arthur Wonter. He was Sherlock Holmes in five of Doyle's murder mysteries. The sound is pretty terrible, but it is going on a hundred years, so one can't complain. Ian Fleming (the one that ISN'T James Bond...) is Doctor Watson. Lyn Harding is the evil Professor Moriarty. and shenanigans at the horse-races. This one moves a little slower than some of the others. When Mr. Straker ends up croaked, it's up to Holmes to figger it out. and Silver Blaze is actually the horse. which is missing. Directed by Brit Thomas Bentley; he was in vaudeville, moved into early silent films, and continued in talkies for another ten years. He had worked with Wontner for years! This one is just okay. lots of talking. currently showing on Film Detectives channel.
