The Baz
Posted by Neve on August 8, 2012
In our first post-Sherlock Holmes Week article, we’re changing theme and tempo and taking a brief glimpse at one of the Baz’s pre-Holmes movies – that gem of the incongruous, beautiful and just plain strange, Confession. Made in 1937, just over a year and a half before Rathbon
