Synopsis
The Good Comrades are a collection of varied gentlemen who crave one thing - solitude. They reside at Drearcliff House, ancestral home of their eldest member. All seems serene and convivial until one by one the members begin to perish in the most grisly of manners. Foul play is suspected by the Good Comrades' insurance agent, who turns to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson for guidance.

I really love this Sherlock Holmes film. It's a bit different from the others in that it's not in the city. The atmosphere is perfect. Lots of red herrings of course. There are sound issues with this one. I found a better one on YouTube.
