Customer Reviews

Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee sort of together again.

Writers - Arthur Conan Doyle and Peter Bryan “It’s elementary, my dear Watson; there are no tarantulas in South Africa.” We know the story from the book by Arthur Conan Doyle and the many movie versions, some of which are: The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) - Basil Rathbone, The Hound of the Baskervilles (1988) - Jeremy Brett, The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002) - Richard Roxburgh, The Hound of the Baskervilles (1983) - Ian Richardson. André Morell (Watson) is a more than competent colleague of Holmes than other actors such as actor Nigel Bruce (1895-1953). This tradition is carried on in the series “Elementary” (2012) with Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson. And “They Might Be Giants” (1991). The basic story is that Sir Henry Baskerville (Christopher Lee) comes to occupy the family estate after his uncle is mysteriously dispatched; this is supposedly by cardiac exhaustion. We get told a tale of the Hound from Hell that has a habit of dispatching the offspring of Sir Hugo Baskerville for being a tad rough with women. But poor Henry is not like that. Will it make any difference, and can Holmes and Watson figure out a diabolical plot in time? Or will Henry become dog-chow? This is a well-produced version and should be the one that all other versions should be measured by.
