Dressed To Kill is one of my favorites of the Sherlock Holmes series. I watch it regularly. As in The Woman In Green, Dressed To Kill takes place in London, in high class apartments, dive bars, a prison, and an auctioneers shop - along with some priceless deducing that can only take place at 221B Baker street. Patricia Morrison plays a ruthless vixen hell bent to steal a set of plates used for counterfeiting. She wears many elegant gowns and tests her wits by trapping Sherlock Holmes. Fredric Worlock (Terror By Night, Faces Death) and Henry Cording (House of Fear, Secret Weapon) round out her gallivanting gang of thugs. A murder committed for a music box sets the game-a-foot with Mr. Holmes pondering and theorizes over the possible significance - he races against time to save more lives. Nigel Bruce plays down the goofiness this time around with a more serious Watson, Unfortunately, our good friend Dennis Hoey, who usually plays Lestrade, doesn’t make an appearance this time around.
