Terror by Night (Universal)
Opened at Palace theatre on Wednesday, April 3, 1946, as a Midwest Premiere, being the bottom-half of a double-bill featuring Abbott and Costello in "Little Giant;" Review: Chicago Tribune--"Mr. Holmes former arch enemy, Mr. Moriarty, is referred to as 'the late,' and the suave detective has a new and ruthless villain, a Col. Moran, this trip. . . . The plot is so tricky that if you are momentarily shrouded by someones overcoat, as frequently happens when people are on the march for better seats in theaters, you may lose track of things entirely and the ending may leave you still trying to figure out who was who. Nigel Bruce, as Dr. Watson, tries his hand at sleuthing in a humorous episode, and as usual he contributes a good deal to the entertainment value of the film. HIs Watson is the same slow-witted likable old chap, excellent relief from the eternally smooth and infallible Holmes." [Thurs., Apr. 4 '46]
