The third Sherlock Holmes movie with Basil Rathbone in the title role was reset to take time during modern times (aka. WW2) and the sleuth takes on Nazis and have a propaganda speech about the evil of Hitler at the end. The crime story itself is okay but the film still feel like a propaganda reel to make American audiences know about the danger that was growing in Europe - and this film doesn't work good on it's own.
Holmes serves in the War Effort! No one is safe from the German Evil, not even your women! Defeat the hidden Nazi scourge through leaps of logic with facts not provided to the audience! Buy War Bonds!
