It was based (albeit very loosely indeed) on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story The Five Orange Pips.
It has a good deal of very effectively contrived gothic atmosphere and benefits from some very stylish (by B-movie standards) directing.
It is not by any means the best of the Universal Sherlock Holmes movies but it is an above-average entry in the cycle and it provides wonderful entertainment.
