Between 1939 and 1946, fourteen films were made with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes. The first two films were adaptations of canon stories, but the rest were original stories in a contemporary setting. Theatrical trailers for several of these films have been preserved. You can also see a poster for "Pursuit to Algiers" (1945) with Rathbone as Holmes, Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, and Marjorie Riordan as Sheila.
