Sinopse
A series of fourteen films based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories was released between 1939 and 1946; the British actors Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce played Holmes and Dr. John Watson, respectively. The first two films in the series were produced by 20th Century Fox and released in 1939. The studio stopped making the films after these, but Universal Pictures acquired the rights from the Doyle estate and produced a further twelve films. Although the films from 20th Century Fox had large budgets, high production values, and were set in the Victorian era, Universal updated the films to the contemporary era of the Second World War, and produced them as B pictures with lower budgets. Both Rathbone and Bruce continued their roles when the series changed studios, as did Mary Gordon, who played the recurring character, Mrs. Hudson.

Baseado no livro de Doyle, as aventuras dos seis Napoleões, este é um dos raros filmes de universal, no qual usou uma história canônica, como enredo principal. No lançamento fez tanto sucesso, que o público e a crítica pediram aos produtores que repetissem o estilo na série. Este foi o primeiro filme de Rondo Hatton como: o rastejador de oxton. Infelizmente, o personagem de rondo, recebeu o diagnóstico de acromegalia crônica, uma deficiência orgânica na glândula petitória, que causa o crescimento exagerado dos ossos do crânio e das mãos. Porém com a ajuda na iluminação do mestre de efeitos especiais, o diretor Roy William Neill, Hatton transformou-se num perfeito monstro. Um filme de terror contido, mas gigantesco no contexto. Hatton ficou tão famoso, que foi novamente caracterizado com este personagem bizarro, em vários outros filmes. Impressionante e Original. Uma pérola singular na série!
