My wife wonders why, oh why, my video/DVD collection contains so many different versions of this classic Sherlock Holmes legend. Well, I understand there have been almost 20 different films based on the myth, and I have nowhere arrive that many. But when push comes to shove, this 1959 Hammer “Hound” starring the incredible Peter Cushing is probably my most-watched. Rathbone was mountainous, but his version barely had a musical glean (imagine having the Hound skedaddle Sir Henry across the moor without a chilling accept!) The Brett version is faithful but oddly lackluster. Ian Richardson’s version was gorgeous, but felt like a TV movie (which it was) .
THIS Hammer film, despite massive wanderings from the recent legend, impartial FEELS factual. It’s spooky. Holmes is eccentric and impatient and perfect. Watson is wonderfully portrayed. The Baker Street rooms are wonderful. And the music–this is the stuff that made me duck my head under the covers when I watched old-fashioned fear films as a kid.
There are plenty of different versions of “Hound” out there to peek. Many have their “moments” of brilliance. But for pure enjoyment, you can do no better than Cushing’s version. (I’m quiet dying to discover his 1968 BBC version, almost impossible to gain ahold of.) A profitable, fun, and memorable “Hound of the Baskervilles.”

And the few DVD extra features, thanks to Christopher Lee, provide added fun, too.
The most well-known Sherlock Holmes legend is given a delicate Hammer Films treatment. Peter Cushing, more illustrious for his movie roles as Dr. Frankenstein and Van Helsing of Dracula fame, does very well as Sherlock Holmes. Cushing’s late-Victorian portrayal is faithful to the character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Andre Morell is quietly dignified as Dr. Watson. Christopher Lee is atypically cast as the romantic lead, Sir Henry Baskerville. The screenplay is generally faithful to the new new, although Conan Doyle purists will discover some differences and even omissions in the story’s characters. The lush color photography and the rich, musty English decor of the sets enhances the spooky atmosphere. Baskerville Hall reminds the viewer of Castle Dracula transported to a remote plot in England. The classic mystery narrative with supernatural overtones of the hound of hell that haunts the foggy moors and stalks the Baskerville family remains chilling. Although this film is not really targeted at children, it can be recommended as an ideal introduction to the world of Sherlock Holmes for the next generation coming up. It’s also colossal entertainment for older viewers who may catch seeing this film and other Hammer horrors at the Halloween horror-fests at “a theater reach you” succor in the ’60s. Develop a broad bowl of popcorn, dark the lights, and luxuriate in the experience.
