Sherlock Holmes in Washington 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 fifth installment to the series of fourteen Sherlock Holmes films starring Rathbone and Bruce. Like most of the films in the series, this one is set during WW2. A British courier delivers a vital secret document to USA but he is murdered and the document disappeared. The British government turns to Holmes for help, and the famous detective together with Dr. Watson hurries to Washington where he confronts the spy ring.
