I do wish this one had been an actual part of the Canon, it would have read well. I won't say all the Rathbone/Bruce takes were not good, most of them were with the exception of a few. This one though I really like
Rathbone was my first Holmes, I will always be loyal to him for creating, with what he had to work with, a true rival for my favorite Holmes. Having said that, I liked this one quite a bit. The opening dialogue between Moriarty and his man about the plants is priceless
