By the time the mystery is solved, Sally Musgrave (Hillary Brooke), young mistress of the estate, has decided to donate her property to "the people" as part of the war effort, cuing another of Holmes' patriotic curtain speeches. The best moment occurs when Holmes suddenly realizes that the floor of Musgrave castle resembles a huge chess board -- a clue vital to the ultimate solution of the case.

Sherlock Holmes Faces Death
This is one of the 12 original Sherlock Holmes Movies staring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce filmed at Universal Studios and Masterfully Restored. In the collection by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the story was called "The Musgrave Ritual". In my opinion, this set of 12 classic movies are iconic and are the best of the Sherlock Holmes movies produced. I particularly enjoyed this one along with "The Scarlet Claw", and "The House of Fear".
