Holmes' Hair Style in this Film ...


(or should I say comb-over?), is almost as bad as U.S. Sen. Byron "Helmet Head" Dorgan's God-awful coiffure!

Thankfully, Basil Rathbone was permitted to go back to his original and classic Holmes hair style in the next Universal film of the series.

Watching the Democrat debate the other day, I thought that U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders looked a lot like the late, great Basil Rathbone in this film, what with that odd looking comb-over both men were sporting.

Combovers: the only thing that Bernie Sanders has in common with Donald Trump.

Yeah what the heck is up with his hair in the film? He wasn’t bald in the other films, why did they do this ridiculous style?

I reckon Holmes drew off his deerstalker in a forward motion before every scene. Cloth caps create the same effect.
