Description by OLDIES.com:
A dying girl's last words, "speckled band," are the only clue to a mystery embroiled in murder and sinister corruption. Attending the inquest is Dr. Watson, who calls upon Sherlock Holmes to help unravel the mystery and uncover the killer. The duo spends a night in the room where the girl died and discovers a sinister secret that could lead to their own violent deaths.
Holmes is played by a young Raymond Massey in one of his first major screen roles. Featuring detailed sets and brooding atmosphere worthy of Universal's early horror film classics of the same period, The Speckled Band also stars Angela Baddeley who, some forty years later, became a fixture on the British television series Upstairs Downstairs (1971-1975).
BONUS: The Mystery of the Willing Victims (1981): Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson discuss how to prevent unwanted break-ins in this rare, beautifully illustrated animated short made by State Farm Insurance.
