Summary

In 1939, 20th Century Fox teamed Basil Rathbone with Nigel Bruce in their lavish production of The Hound Of The Baskervilles, and Hollywood introduced one of the most enduring detectives to the world of film. Over the decades interest in Sherlock Holmes wavered and he appeared antiquated to a modern world on the brink on a second world war, until a new plan was instigated - to bring Sherlock Holmes out of the Victorian age, and into the modern world. In The Game Is Afoot, hear the story of Rathbone and Bruce’s tenure in the roles of literature’s most beloved detective double-team; the movies, the radio adaptations, and the friendship between the two men that was put to the test as the series itself began to decline… The Secret History Of Hollywood will now be arriving with you far more frequently!
