Not sure what Conan Doyle material is being evoked in murder and blackmail by hypnotism story, though there is an element from 'The Empty House' in there. Imaginatively written by Bertram Millhauser. Plot also revolves around Holmes - almost accidentally - seeing the murderer's associate in a night club. Still, good fun with Henry Daniell as Moriarty, Hillary Brooke as femme fatale. Plus Paul Cavanagh, Matthew Boulton, Eve Amber, Mary Gordon.
Amusing that at one point Holmes has taken 'cannabis japonica' to counter-effect effects of pain!

That's quite enough Sherlock Holmes for now.
