This adaptation of the classic Arthur Conan Doyle tale follows the renowned British sleuth Sherlock Holmes (Ian Richardson) and his trusty companion, Dr. Watson (Donald Churchill), as they look into an alleged curse on the family of Sir Henry Baskerville (Martin Shaw). Tormented by sightings of a large vicious dog, Baskerville is convinced that the canine brings death, which seems to be the case when people begin turning up dead out on the misty moors.
Best version of The Hound!
Without doubt the best incarnation of this often repeated Sherlock Holmes story. Later versions don't come close to this one. Very well filmed, dark & suspenseful with well chosen locations & well thought out set pieces, particularly the hound chases & the final showdown in the mire. Sets are very well designed & filmed for a picture of this era, real effort has gone into this part of it - it actually looks like the outdoor scenes are really outdoors!
Ian Richardson excels as Holmes & Martin Shaw is an excellent Henry Baskerville. The supporting roles are also very well cast, with an excellent British line up of players, Denholm Elliot making a fine Dr. Mortimer & Brian Blessed a memorable Geoffrey Lyons.
