Trivia
In the original novel, and in all later film versions, the butler is named Barrymore. In this version, the butler was renamed Barryman since the famous Barrymore family - Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore and John Barrymore - were still acting in films at the time.
Quotes
Barryman:
Hello, there! Hello, there! Is something wrong!
Goofs
Sir Henry is shown disembarking in London after his voyage from Canada. In fact transatlantic ships sailed to and from Liverpool and Southampton, not London. In the book Holmes met him at London's Waterloo station, where the boat trains from Southampton arrived.
