I had a chance to preview the special features and speak with the Chief Archivist recently. For films that were released originally starting in the 1939, the extras are very similar to what you would find in a recent release. There are trailers for the films, movie stills, a poster collection and commentary. These are amazing extras that have been shelved for sixty years. The commentary for “Dressed to Kill” includes actress Patricia Morison, who played the co-star and villainess. Most notably however, is the footage of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle discussing writing Sherlock Holmes.
