[QUOTE="JimInks, post: 609970, member: 2673"] I still like the Rathbone-Bruce Holmes movies. The hero having a silly sidekick was a near constant, standard trope in B-movies ranging from detectives to cowboys. They followed the trend of the times. I would like to mention that the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes radio series with Rathbone and Bruce were not only better written than the movies, but the characterizations of Holmes and Watson were better, too. Bruce was not as buffoonish on radio as he was in the movies, and Rathbone was much less condescending to Watson. The villains were smarter, too, although every Holmes radio series I have heard (and I've heard them all) tended to use Professor Moriarty too often. The Hobbs-Shelly Sherlock Holmes radio series was probably the closest to the original stories even though most of them were only thirty minutes long. [/QUOTE]
