Sherlock Holmes - The Sleeping Cardinal (1931)

This rare Sherlock Holmes film was released at the same time as the Raymond Massey picture "The Speckled Band". The plot is based on two Conan Doyle short stories: "The Final Problem" and "The Empty House".
Sceptical about the potential success of the film, the producers sold the rights to the film to "First Division Pictures" for 800 pounds. The film was released in July 1931 under the title "Sherlock Holmes' Fatal Hour". It was very success, running for over a month on Broadway, which was unprecidented for a British produced programmer.
Reviews hailed the film for "bringing the real Sherlock Holmes to the screen." This prompted 4 more movies in the series The Missing Rembrandt (still considered lost), The Sign of Four, The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes and The Silver Blaze/Murder at the Baskervilles.
