1939  NR  DRAMA  1h 20min
CAST— Richard Greene, Basil Rathbone, Wendy Barrie, Nigel Bruce, Lionel Atwill, John Carradine, Barlowe Borland, Beryl Mercer, Morton Lowry, Ralph Forbes
MUSIC— David Buttolph  DIRECTOR— Sidney Lanfield  BASED ON— The Hound of the Baskervilles (novel), by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

     Often told, often retold, this version of the classic mystery is considered one of the best. Sherlock Holmes and partner in crime Dr. Watson comb through the English moors in search of logical answers to a two hundred year-old curse on the family of Baskerville. It seems that for generations a monstrous hound has stalked the resident master of Baskerville Hall; now young Henry Baskerville has inherited the manor and Holmes fears for the young lord’s safety. It’s Holmes and Watson to the rescue in another atmospheric chiller from the days of yesteryear.
OUR RATING— ** ½
REMADE AS— The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959/1978)
