Product Description
The Legendary Sherlock Holmes squares off once again against his nemesis, the diabolically brilliant Professor Moriarty. Four women are brutally murdered, and Scotland Yard thinks it is the random work of a madman. But Holmes and Watson follow a mysterious and beautiful woman into the nefarious world of blackmail and hypnotism. They deduce that something far more sinister is happening here the work of a criminal genius. The amazing colorization, created with a new cutting-edge digital technology, breathes new life into this already excellent film Also included on this DVD is the original black-and-white version, beautifully restored as well. This is the definitive DVD edition of The Woman in Green.

Sherlock Holmes Does it Again November 26, 2008
Teresa Anson (Michigan, USA)
The Woman in Green continues the work of the superlative detective duo, Basil Rathbone (Holmes) and Nigel Bruce (Watson), as they seek to unravel the secrets behind a string of nefarious murders in London.
This latest DVD version of The Woman in Green is, in my experience, the best available anywhere. When I look at other versions of the film, I can't help but notice the extremely, extremely poor quality that they universally possess--certainly nothing that you would want to spend good money on. Washed out, grainy images are the norm, to say nothing of the obviously deficient source material. Fortunately, this DVD corrects all of those problems by cleaning up and re-mastering the black and white material, resulting in a much crisper, more watch-able image. Though we're thankful for this restored black and white (included along with the color version), it's really just the groundwork for the superlative colorization, which is the headline feature of this package. Unlike some of the shoddy colorization work you've seen done before on other classic films, the technology employed by Legend on this DVD is fantastic--it looks as believable as the first generation of true-color films do, which is probably as good as anyone can do with this source material.
All-in-all, fans of Sherlock Holmes, or families wanting to introduce this hero to the younger generation would be well-served by this DVD.
