'''''Sherlock Holmes Faces Death''''' is an American 1943 detective movie, directed by Roy William Neill and starring [[Basil Rathbone]] as Sherlock Holmes and [[Nigel Bruce]] as Dr. Watson. This is the sixth installment to the series of fourteen [[Sherlock Holmes]] films starring Rathbone and Bruce. After three spy movies, this one marks a return to the pure detectives, but the story is still set in 1940s. The plot is adapted from "The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual". Musgrave Manor estate is used as a hospital for shell-shoked militarymen, and Dr. Watson is in charge of the medical facility. When another physician, Dr. Sexton, is attacked when out on a walk, Watson asks Holmes to help with this case.
