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.
The following weapons were used in the film Sherlock Holmes Faces Death:
While in earlier movies of the series Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) uses a Bulldog revolver for the most part, in this film his weapon is an equally antique (for 1940s) Colt 1877 Thunderer Shopkeeper Model.
