     The Hound of the Baskervilles
1959  NR  DRAMA  1h 27min
CAST— Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Andre Morell, Maria Landi, Miles Malleson, John LeMesurier
MUSIC— James Bernard  DIRECTOR— Terence Fisher  BASED ON— The Hound of the Baskervilles (novel), by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

     Beware the moors. In a fine film adaptation of perhaps one of the greatest cases of the brilliant Sherlock Holmes, Peter Cushing (playing the master sleuth) wanders the misty moors of the English countryside in answer to a legend. The Baskerville family is in grave danger from a menace that takes a hideous shape in the night. Is the answer elementary or something of a sinister nature? Fine production, leading to atmospheric (almost damp) chills. Don’t catch a cold.
OUR RATING— ** ½
ORIGINAL— The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)
REMADE AS— The Hound of the Baskervilles (1978)
