The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - "The Second Generation" (Old Time Radio, 1945)
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes | Old Time RadioShow Notes
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes presents “The Second Generation,” episode 197, originally broadcast December 17, 1945. Basil Rathbone stars as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson in this original radio play by Denis Green and Anthony Boucher.
Retired in Sussex, Holmes is visited by Watson and approached by Miss Norton, the daughter of Irene Adler. Her request to recover a filigree box from a wealthy collector draws the old partners into a case with more at stake than it first appears. Also known as “The Daughter of Irene Adler,” the story was inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Scandal in Bohemia.”
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
