The lines that Holmes quotes at the end of the film are a condensed version of William Shakespeare's lines from "Richard II" [ 2.1, 40-51].
Lionel Atwill, who plays Prof. Moriarty, earlier played James Mortimer in The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939).
This was the first of Universal's Sherlock Holmes series in which Dennis Hoey appeared as Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard.
During the sequence showing the trials of the new bomb-sight, several different types of aircraft are seen in the stock footage used. A Douglas A-20 (known in RAF service as the "Boston") takes off, then a Bristol Blenheim flies low past the camera, and finally a Vickers Wellington is seen for the rest of the sequence. The interior of the aircraft shown also appears to be a Wellington, recognisable by its unique framework of aluminium triangles.
The set used for Prof. Moriarty's hideout was used as a pub/bar in Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (1942).
"[last lines] Dr. John H. Watson: Things are looking up, Holmes. This little Island's still on the map. Sherlock Holmes: Holmes: Yes. "This fortress built by nature for herself, this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.""
"Professor Moriarty: Brilliant man, Sherlock Holmes. Too bad he was honest."
