An Original 1941 Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Silver Blaze (released in the U.S. in 1941 as "Murder at the Baskervilles"), the 1937 Thomas Bentley English detective crime murder mystery thriller (based on the story by Arthur Conan Doyle; Holmes is visiting an old friend, when two murders occur, and also a prize race horse is kidnapped, and he must solve all three mysteries, with the help of Doctor Watson) starring Arthur Wontner (as Sherlock Holmes), Lyn Harding, Ian Fleming (NOT the creator of James Bond, but an Australian actor who appeared in 158 movies between 1926 and 1968; as Dr. Watson), Judy Gunn, John Turnbull, and Robert Horton. Note that this was one of five movies in which Arthur Wontner played Sherlock Holmes. They were made between 1931 and 1937. The first four were made between 1931 and 1935 and were released in the U.S. soon after they were made. The fifth one, Murder at the Baskervilles, was released in England when it was made in 1937, but it was not released at that time in the U.S. However, after 20th Century-Fox and Universal Pictures had great success with their Sherlock Holmes movies starting in 1939, Murder at the Baskervilles was first released in the U.S. in 1941, by Astor Pictures (a company normally associated with re-releases, but in this case, it was the first release of this movie).
