Dressed to Kill, a review by addicted2dvd

Dressed to Kill (1946)
A convicted thief in Dartmoor prison hides the location of the stolen Bank of England printing plates inside three music boxes. When the innocent purchasers of the boxes start to be murdered, Holmes and Watson investigate.

My Thoughts:
all the sudden I got in the mood for some classic Sherlock Holmes movies. I haven't seen many of these... matter of fact I have 3 in my collection I never seen. I got this movie in the free 20 Disc 40 movie boxset I got for subscribing to Total Movie Magazine. So I thought I would at least work on those some today. It is the first time I ever seen this movie. It wasn't a bad movie... but I have seen better. The ending was kind of sudden and a bit contrived. Quality has been bad to decent in this boxset. This one the quality was ok... but definitely could have been better. There is some film damage that was  never cleaned.

Extras:

• Featurettes
• Production Notes

Black Adam is a superhero, that I didn't know before. I also was suprised, that he essentially got the Shazam powers. The action sequences were good. There was not much of a story here. I am not suprised, that the movie didn't fair so well. I think Shazam 2 and this movie would have been better, if they would have made it a crossover.
