SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1939)

SIDNEY LANFIELD

Plot

The first of the classic series of adaptations following the investigations of Sherlock Holmes. A malevolent curse is blamed for the death of an aristocrat and Holmes is called in to investigate, using his scientific method and dry Victorian wit. Superb nuanced performances from Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as the pudgy Watson. Cracking stuff.
