Thankfully they are wrong!  Over the years there have been many releases of  dreadfully poor quality versions of the Arthur Wontner Sherlock Holmes films. Previously, The Sign of Four: Sherlock Holmes' Greatest Case (1932) was beautifully restored by Ealing Studios, Network and Studio Canal. It is available from Amazon on dvd - Ealing Studios Rarities Collection Volume 14. Then Philip Hopkins from Film Detective restored the Silver Blaze (1937) (USA title: Murder at the Baskervilles, release 1941), based on "The Adventure of Silver Blaze".  Jeff Joseph, long time film collector, historian restored  Fatal Hour (The Sleeping Cardinal 1931) .
