Annotation on front wrapper, in manuscript pencil, striking "Fear" in title, adding "Terror," amending title to it's release title. Based on the 1917 short story "His Last Bow. The War Service of Sherlock Holmes," by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and loosely, on the real-life exploits of Lord Haw-Haw, (several broadcasters, but most notably) William Joyce, a US born Briton who broadcast Nazi Propaganda from Germany to the UK during WWII. Joyce would be convicted of high treason in 1945 and hanged in 1946, the last person executed for treason in the UK. The third Sherlock Holmes movie starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, and the first produced at Universal Studios. Preceded by "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1939), directed by Alfred L. Werker, and followed by "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" (1942), directed by Roy William Neill. Watson and Holmes, transplanted from their usual Victorian setting, and from the WWI setting of the original story, are now in England at the start of WWII investigating the mysterious broadcasts by "The Voice of Terror," apparently from Nazi Germany, warning of acts of terror moments before their occurrence. 3/10/42 script, "Sherlock Holmes vs. Lord Haw-Haw": Gray titled wrappers, with credits for screenwriter John Bright.
