Mrs. Hilda Courtney: It's so fearfully awkward, having a dead body lying about. Don't you agree Mr. Holmes?

Holmes: Elementary, my dear fellow, one of the first principles in solving crime is never to disregard anything no matter how trivial.

Holmes: The truth is only arrived at... by the pain staking process of eliminating the untrue.

Watson: Holmes! You all right?
Holmes: Perfectly, thank you, old fellow, but I think this gentleman on the floor requires some medical attention. We must see that he looks his best, you know, when he's hanged.

Holmes: However, it's a mistake to accept something that's true merely because it's obvious.

Watson: I say, Holmes?
Holmes: What?
Watson: It's morning.
Holmes: Allow me to congratulate you on a brilliant bit of deduction.

Continuity mistake: The plot is based on obtaining 3 music boxes, identical in appearance each playing a slight variation of the same tune. Throughout the movie the variations are highlighted as a message is revealed by listening to all 3 variations. Yet at the beginning of the movie when the boxes are all sold at the same auction, when each box is presented, the tune had no variations.
