Better luck next time!
Sexton Blake and the Hooded Terror (1938) is a clumsy ripoff of the Sherlock Holmes series. Heck, the lead, Blake, strongly resembles Basil Rathbone of Holmes fame.
But it doesn’t help. Blake’s not as clever as Holmes, and his reliance on luck grates on the nerves for Holmes fans, despite a not-awful beginning. I liked the evil guy better than Blake, actually.
And the Watson analog, a guy named Tinker, should be the one sleeping with the hot French chick at the end, not Blake. Ah, well, the world is smothered in injustice.
