The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: v. 14

From 1939 to 1946 the world gathered around the radio to listen to The New Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes - featuring Basil Rathbone as the highly strung crime-solver and Nigel Bruce as his phiegmatic assistant. Witty, fast-paced, and always surprising, these great radio plays - scripted by the prolific writing team of Anthony Boucher and Denis Green - are as fresh today as they were then. The latest audio technology has been employed to bring the best possible quality and fidelity to these original performances, which feature nostalgic war-time announcements, original narrations and radio commercials. Volume Fourteen presents two classic tales: The Strange Case Of The Murderer In Wax A night of horrors is in store for Sherlock Holmes when he disguises himself as Watson and hides in a wax museum to catch the killer of ten young girls on Hampstead Heath. The Man With The Twisted Lip A young woman sees her husband in the window - but why was he dressed in rags, and how did he disappear when she went to him? The woman asks for Holmes' help, and this becomes one of the strangest cases of his career.
