Sherlock Holmes sets Query

I just purchased all three MPI collections of the Basil Rathbone/Nigle Bruce Sherlock Holmes series. Does anyone know if these collections comprise all the Rathbone/Bruce entries or, are there more sets to come?

Excellent sets by the way. The clarity and quality in these restorations is pretty incredible!

Thanks

The 3 sets are all of the Universal films.

There were two Paramount films made before the Universal ones and those will be released individual by MPI in a couple of months. The two Paramount films (Hound of the Baskervilles and Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) are much better than any of the Universal entries, but I liked all 14 of the Rathbone Holmes films.

There are a total of fourteen films about Sherlock Holmes featuring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. The twelve thus far released are all made by Universal and set during World War II. There are two earlier films, The Hound Of The Baskervilles and The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes. These two were set in the Victorian era and made by 20th Century Fox, not Paramount. Both of the latter will be released by MPI on 27 April 2004.

Thanks for all the info. Looking forward to collecting these last two titles as well.
