Hello,
I am looking where Basil Rathbone doing one of the Sherlock Holmes films where he says something like, "Come Watson, our usefulness here has ended" or something very similar.

This has become me new favourite Sherlock movie! It's just so funny to see so many people continually handle the match box, and have no idea what they are holding!

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce were best friends on and off screen. The both played off each other very well and their friendship is evident on screen
