Anecdotes
Listed in Journet's inn-register is Tom McKnight of New York. He was an adviser on Universal's Holmes series, and was married to Edith Meiser, a writer familiar to devotees of the radio productions "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".

Gaffes
Holmes signs the hotel register on February 10, no year given. In mid-February, there would likely be frost (if not snow) on the ground in that part of Canada, and the bog Watson falls into would no doubt be frozen. The vapor of the characters' breath would also be visible.

Sixth Modern Day Sherlock Holmes.

Roy William Neil continued to direct this series, and this is one of the best. Story is not adapted by a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tale, but instead tells an original one. Holmes & Watson are in Quebec Canada to attend a conference when they are called upon to investigate a murder of Lady Penrose, who had in fact already contacted Holmes, but was too late to save her. Locals believe it to be a supernatural creature at work, but Sherlock knows better. Atmospheric and exciting entry seems inspired by earlier "The Hound Of The Baskervilles", but is better handled here. The series was at its peak now, and in the next two entries as well.
