470630 - The Adventure Of The Innocent Murderess is messed up

I enjoyed these Tom Conway episodes. He sounds somewhat like Basil Rathbone. The only negative aspect of the series, aside from several annoying Holmes - Watson interactions, is the blaring horn ensemble. The organ in the Rathbone series fostered calm transitions to and from the commercials. Episode 470630 abruptly cuts off shortly after ten minutes, and a large chunk of The Speckled Band is inserted until time runs out. Hopefully the person who uploaded the Conway series has a means of correcting this error.
The Music Sucks but the Stories are Great

Never having heard the Tom Conway "Holmes" adventures; it was a bit of a revelation to find them here...thoroughly enjoyable apart from the glaring brass instrumentation; very strange not to hear a plug for Blue Coal or Petrie Wines as in the Rathbone era. As a previous reviewer highlighted; Nigel Bruce' Watson isn't quite the buffoon of the movies or the Rathbone stories and all the better for it.
Not Basil but Tom not bad.

Not everyone cares for Tom Conway as Holmes but I found his Sherlock not bad at all. Nigel Bruce comes off as a more intellegent Watson...and gets top billing. All in all, a very satisfactory Holmes and Watson series.
no one can be rathbone

I also enjoyed Tom Conway as Sherlock Holmes. He tends to make a number of small mistakes when reciting his dialogue, but these shows were enjoyable. I wish I could understand why he was replaced with John Stanley
Mr. Holm and Dr. Watten. LOL.

Enjoyable series. It does not have Rathbone, but it does have better production values than the Rathbone-Bruce series. Conway and Rathbone have very similar sounding voices.
love it
