Holmes & Watson endure a PURSUIT TO ALGIERS whilst assisting a young king to evade assassins.
Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce appeared as Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson on screen for the twelfth time in this enjoyable fast moving film. Not the best of the series by any means, it still offers the two wonderful actors adding nuances to the classic characters: Holmes seems a tad more human and enjoys a kiss from a pretty female, while Watson raises his voice to sing Loch Lomand.
The plot, which has the intrepid duo escort a college boy monarch (Leslie Vincent) on a dangerous cruise from Britain to North Africa, is a bit silly, but it does serve to introduce some intriguing characters, including a frightened singer (Marjorie Riordan), a strident fresh air fanatic (Rosalind Ivan), a nervous little fellow with a big knife (Martin Kosleck), and a strangely obliging steward (Morton Lowry).
This film followed THE WOMAN IN GREEN (1945) and preceded TERROR BY NIGHT (1946).
