"Rathbone presented an ideal image of Holmes: he was tall - carrying himself with an erect guardsman-like bearing - with an extraordinary angular face, long aquiline nose, and a defiant jawline. His voice was sharp and incisive, yet dark with a majestic quality that betrayed his stage training. This was a Holmes who was not only alert and intellectually superior, but a daring man of action also. These two halves of the character had never before been so evenly balanced on screen."

— David Stuart Davies, Starring Sherlock Holmes.
