Second viewing; the first was on May 30, 1995
The famous detective acts here as much as a secret agent as a detective. A German scientist has invented a powerful bomb-sight and prefers to give it to the Allies than to the Nazis (yes, Holmes has lived to see World War II). Holmes gets him out of Germany, but new perils await him (and Holmes) in England.
Perfectly mediocre Holmes outting, not a memorable scene, not a remarkable deductive thought, not a remarkable line of dialogue (except, if you will, for a reference to Holmes' drug use which IMDB mentions but I did not get while watching it). But it is all professionally done, and the narrative flows easily and ends in a reasonably short time.
