Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1942 Roy William Neill)

Basil Rathbone (in a variety of disguises), Nigel Bruce, Lionel Atwill, Kaaren Verne (Kings Row), William Post Jr.

Good beginning in the thick of the action as Holmes disguised as Nazi manages to extricate Post from dangerous situation in Switzerland.

Clever stuff with code must clearly be from Conan Doyle original story "The Dancing Men".

Moriarty proves himself particularly inept in despatching Holmes this episode.
