The Final Problem In the 1939 film series starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson, a number of films borrow elements from "The Final Problem". Most noticeable of these elements is the methods of killing Moriarty off; in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" and "The Woman in Green" Moriarty is seen in all three films falling a great height to his death. "The Woman in Green" contains a variation on the conversation between Holmes and Moriarty in Baker Street, as well as the idea of Moriarty manipulating Watson out of the way by hoaxing
