Highly entertaining…one of the strongest of the Universal series…
I don’t know how I missed this one over the years, but watching it today on TCM, I don’t remember ever seeing it before.

THE SCARLET CLAW was written especially for the screen and not from any novel penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Turns out it’s one of the very best entries in the series, up there with THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES and THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES as essential Holmes films.

It has all the atmosphere one would want in a Sherlock Holmes story and a mystery that deepens as the plot goes forward but resolved in a very satisfying way by Holmes. The cast includes an excellent performance from PAUL CAVANAGH as Mr. Penrose, whose wife dies a vicious death at the hands of a killer and leads to Holmes’ investigation. GERALD HAMER as a nervous postman and VICTORIA HORNE as a frightened housekeeper are also fine, as is MILES MANDER as a judge whose life is in danger from a serial killer.

Although this one takes place in Canada, it might just as well have taken place on the Dartmouth moors in Devonshire–that’s the kind of atmosphere it has with plenty of mist and fog to add to the Gothic ambiance of the tale.

Well worth watching for Sherlock fans. Especially good is NIGEL BRUCE as the bumbling Dr. Watson who inadvertently helps BASIL RATHBONE from time to time. His blustery interpretation of the comic sidekick is especially well done in this caper. Rathbone, of course, is beyond reproach.

Review By: Doylenf
Master of disguise
My favorite Sherlock Holmes film from the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce era is The Scarlet Claw. Interestingly so because the story is not based on any of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories. But the writers at Universal really caught the Holmes spirit with this one.

Holmes and Watson are in Quebec at a conference on the occult presided over by the titled Paul Cavanaugh. Rathbone ever the believer in pure reason is not a believer in the supernatural happenings that have been reported in Cavanaugh’s area. But during the conference Cavanaugh receives word that his wife was brutally murdered by something resembling an animal’s claw.

After Rathbone and Bruce arrive at the small village where these incidents are taking place two other murders occur. The connection is established and we find out that the murderer is a former actor who served time and is now taking revenge on those he thought had wronged him.

Knowing who it is isn’t enough. The perpetrator is a master of disguise and Holmes gives the devil his due because he’s been known to disguise himself often enough when on a case.

I agree with several reviewers who said that The Scarlet Claw does venture into the Gothic horror genre that Universal did so well back in the day. But that’s all to the good, after all the greatest of Holmes stories does just that also, The Hound Of The Baskervilles.

Even Baker Street purists should like this one.
