This article about Ronald Colman is really interesting in general, but it also has some absolutely delightful tidbits about Basil Rathbone that I just love
Basil Rathbone and Pola Negri in A Woman Commands (1932)
Basil Rathbone Promotional Image for Tovarich (1937)
Basil Rathbone as Robert Browning in The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1933)
Watching my first Sherlock Holmes movie with Basil Rathbone ("Dressed to Kill", 1946) and so far I like Rathbone's performance
gotta say though I was not expecting them to cast a Watson who looked so much older than Holmes. like irl Nigel Bruce was three years younger than Rathbone but it does not look like it on film
