Whereas carradine was mysterious, actress eily malyon seemed fearful and secretive as barryman's emotional wife.unless one is a stickler for a movie strictly adhering to its novel source, any sherlock holmes fan would find "the hound of the baskervilles" to be a very entertaining and atmospheric adaptation of arthur conan doyle's novel. and both basil rathbone and nigel bruce ended up proving they were the right men at that time to portray sherlock holmes and dr. john watson

First in the hound of the baskervilles, and then in this film. rathbone (in his memoires, in and out of character) dismisses holmes, saying that he disliked the typecasting. yet he played in fourteen films (which are still revived) as well as a radio series with his friend and partner nigel bruce, and even was willing to go on the stage with bruce (and thomas gomez as professor moriarty).

Peter cushing and christopher lee took a break from their usual horror cycle at hammer films to do the most famous of the arthur conan doyle sherlock holmes series, the hound of the baskervilles. it's not as big a leap as one might think because an integral part of the plot has sherlock holmes investigating a legendary hound from hell that has cursed the baskerville family for many generations. which brings us to the last of the baskervilles, a rakish sort of fellow named henry baskerville played in the best lord of the manor style by christopher lee.

It featured peter cushing in the lead role and was titled the hound of the baskervilles.the film opens in the past with the story of hugo baskerville, an entitled rogue if there ever was one, and his demise due to the famed hound from hell that roamed the moors seeking revenge against him. time has passed and we move forward to the present (in this case late 1800s, early 1900s). the new heir to baskerville hall is sir henry (christopher lee) and an attack on his life has already been made.
