The Strange Case of the Demon Barber

/ / Radio

Sherlock Sunday takes us back to 40s radio and murder. Premiering on January 28, 1946 as part of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes radio program, Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is put in the unlikely situation of being hired by a potential murderer to prove his guilt.
