The Woman in Green (1945) is a mystery thriller starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. In this atmospheric entry in the long-running Holmes film series, Holmes is drawn into a chilling investigation after a string of young women are found murdered with a finger severed from each victim. The case leads him to a seductive and mysterious woman, Lydia Marlowe (Hillary Brooke), and the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty (Henry Daniell). As Holmes unravels the psychological manipulation at the heart of the crimes—including the use of hypnosis—he must outwit Moriarty once again to expose the truth. With moody cinematography and clever deduction, The Woman in Green is a suspenseful example of classic detective noir.
