Weak entry in the Sherlock Holmes series quite a comedown after "The Woman in Green." One of Universal's last installments, "Pursuit to Algiers" (1945) is a dull ocean-liner mystery with no surprises. Basil Rathbone looks tired and the budgetary shortcuts are evident.

This is one of the poorer examples of the long running series with some less than adequate production values .Holmes and Watson are assigned the task of escorting an imperilled prince ,sympathetic to the British cause ,back to his native land .The journey is being made by ocean liner and the bad guys are on hand to seek to kill not only the young ruler but the great man himselfCue attempts on their lives by amongst others knife throwing midgets and senior German agents .
Rathbone is marginally under his best as if slighly contemptuous of the material and the shabby production but it does have an admirable economy that makes it just about passable if not representative of the series at its best
