I think this rolling fog filter was also used on the Inner Sanctum series. #SherlockBond

Terror By Daylight would be far scarier. #SherlockBond

Murderer! She killed a muppet. #SherlockBond.

Her accent is already as flighty as Barbara Bach’s. #SherlockBond.

In 1938 Darryl Zanuck decided at a Hollywood cocktail party that Basil Rathbone would be his Sherlock. #SherlockBond

This is the second-to-last in the Rathbone Sherlock series. It’s also the shortest film in the series. #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
That kid’s like a deer in a headlights. I’m pretty sure he’s got wood, alright. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
@ThatAndyRoss Just go with the pipe. #SherlockBond.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
@ThatAndyRoss That’s a shame.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
@007hertzrumble @ThatAndyRoss “THAT’S WHAT BOND SAID!” #SherlockBond
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) January 2, 2014
The mustache quota on this train has already been met. #SherlockBond.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
Would it be called the Star of Zimbabwe now? #SherlockBond
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
That old gent has a “First Crass” ticket, apparently. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
I love the word “bauble.” #SherlockBond.
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
Holmes would have made a fabulous jewel thief if he was twisted for evil.#SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
Shh, Watson. The adults are talking. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
@007hertzrumble NOW WUT DA HELL KINDA PERSON ARE YOU BOY?
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss) January 2, 2014
That note was so rude. The writer didn’t say “please.” #SherlockBond
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
Good old times! Having police in the train was exciting rather than scary. Things change! #SherlockBond
— silentbeauties (@miwi1010) January 2, 2014
Holmes is checking out the beautiful woman while Watson is talking about curry…how were they friends?#SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
This conversation is so british it’s making my knickers hurt. #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
@MiddParent As long as my bum doesn’t break into four parts like the poor bums in the last movie. #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
Of note: I’ve always wanted to travel on train because of moments in films like this. Not the death. #SherlockBond
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss) January 2, 2014
He is dead — murdered — and somebody’s responsible! #WrongFilm #SherlockBond
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
Good Lord, Watson! I’m surprised you didn’t trip over the body! #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
Meanwhile Miss Froy is being kidnapped in the compartment next door… #SherlockBond #TheLadyVanishes
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
Oh, right. I remember this one now. Holmes spots the killer because he doesn’t know which wine pairs well with his fish. #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
I have a feeling this train adventure will be less “North by Northwest” and more “The Rebel Set.” #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
I made a GIF from this scene today. Because I’m a dork: http://t.co/1OulEUGATL #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
@007hertzrumble I thought she was doing American, but then she morphed into this Cockney sort of thing…#SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
@007hertzrumble Da Reign in Spain….
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss) January 2, 2014
@007hertzrumble She has huge….tracts of land!
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss) January 2, 2014
@007hertzrumble She could have played Easter Thomas.

ABORT! ABORT! RT @MiddParent: The coffin…the diamond…Diamonds are Forever…#SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
@MiddParent Alimentary, my dear Fussy. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
Whenever someone insults you while wearing a monocle, it’s 10x more hurtful. #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
Being a beautiful woman in a 1940ies film almost meant being mysterious in the exact degree #SherlockBond
— silentbeauties (@miwi1010) January 2, 2014
Confess! #SherlockBond pic.twitter.com/5ZfrGhaRdw
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
Watson can’t tell a teapot from a diamond…he looks so confused. #SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
Terror By Night (1946) Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce vintage newspaper ads http://t.co/lmVZxU91Wp #SherlockBond
— Asta Charles (@Astas_Doghouse) January 2, 2014
@007hertzrumble He may be wearing glasses, but he has a monocle attitude. #SherlockBond
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
Holmes should have just gone ahead and directed Watson to step off the train. It’s the humane thing to do. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
Getting tiddly! #SherlockBond
— kim (@kimmiechem2) January 2, 2014
“You’re that English detective! From England!” #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
Watson is now suspecting that he is the thief because he has been to India.#SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
I have such train compartment envy…why can’t travel be like this? Without the murders, of course.#SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
I can not get enough of tweedy guys talking in trains. #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
@NitrateDiva You really ARE my daughter.#SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
Next thing you know, Watson will be batting at invisible elves with his slippers. He’s stark raving bonkers! #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
No! Don’t fall into the rear projection!! #SherlockBond
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss) January 2, 2014
This Holmes hanging on the outside of the train sequence is very #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
The one time when Watson could have actually been helpful….open the freakin’ door, but, NO….#SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
In Moran’s version of Gin Rummy, every time Watson got a card, he had to take a shot. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
Oh yea, he’ll never be able to, you know, GET BACK INSIDE THE TRAIN. #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
@miwi1010 That’s his version of the Bond tie and cuff adjustment. 🙂 #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
That hair adjustment Rathbone did was very Jeremy Brett. Props.#SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
@MiddParent You have to pay more for the murders. It’s considered one of the amenities like extra legroom and fold-down trays #SherlockBond
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
Pay this no mind. You never saw anything. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
Drinking game for a Sherlock Holmes film: drink whenever someone says they want to ask questions. #SherlockBond
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
@MiddParent WHAT ARE YOU? Russian? Irish? American? Cockney? Haywire Sean Young replicant? #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
My accent is from London. London, NJ. #SherlockBond
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss) January 2, 2014
I wouldn’t trust anything she says until she can explain how she can got that accent. #SherlockBond
— Todd (@Kinetograph) January 2, 2014
Her accent wanders so much it must get frequent flier miles. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
“Stop barging in an out of my room like a chambermaid!” Without leaving chocolate on my pillow—unacceptable. #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
DOCTOR Watson, are we to believe this joker graduated med school? #SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
Jehovah’s Witnesses do less knocking on doors than these two. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
Watson just got referred to as the “fat bloke” is there no end to the humiliation? #SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
@ThatAndyRoss Is this guy 81 or 18? #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
If I saw this guy lurking on a train I would alert the authorities. #SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
This rather alarming looking character actor with the creepy voice is the distinctive Skelton Knaggs. Great name, too. #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
For extra security, they should get Buster Keaton on the train on lookout. #SherlockBond pic.twitter.com/l9gkJ5S9DQ

Ironically when in Scotland, Scotland Yard has no jurisdiction, I guess in Scotland it is the ENGLAND Yard.#SherlockBond

“All I did was buy a coffin and bring it on the train.” #SherlockBond #ifihadadime
— kim (@kimmiechem2) January 2, 2014
Why do they keep saying *Sebastian* Moran? Is there a risk of confusing him with his brother Hieronymous Moran or something? #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
Round up the shifty fellow with the mustache! #SherlockBond
— Andy Ross (@ThatAndyRoss) January 2, 2014
@Kinetograph Did she have at least one line so she could sample the accents of three continents in CK, too? #SherlockBond
— #Bond_age_ (@007hertzrumble) January 2, 2014
Alan Mowbray, who plays the villain here, played Lestrade in the 1933 STUDY IN SCARLET. #SherlockBond
— The Nitrate Diva (@NitrateDiva) January 2, 2014
Just what this movie needed: lingering shots of fat tweedy asses. #SherlockBond
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) January 2, 2014
Holmes just keeps Watson around so he can feel REALLY smart. He is so smug here. #SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
The bodies stacked up on the train, but the diamond is safe. *Sigh of relief* #SherlockBond
— Fussy (@MiddParent) January 2, 2014
Thank you, friends, for that wonderful frolic through two fun films! And thanks to @007hertzrumble for suggesting this #SherlockBond fest!
