Sherlock Holmes – The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Well – I do have my favorite movie version of Doyle’s best Sherlock Holmes novel, but fact is that no-one was ever able to make the Hound nearly as exciting and creepy as it appears on the page. Mo…

Easily the best Sherlock Holmes novel, some films adaptations are entertaining, but (excuse the cliche) nothing can compare to the book

The best will remain the one playing in Wilder masterpeace, “Private life of SH”, the late and genial Robert Stephens.

I didn’t consider “Dracula” a mystery story, it’s more a horror story. Frankly, any Holmes movie with Ian Hart as Watson in it is very good, and Jeremy Brett’s was great for the budget. My favorite Russian bit of the “Hound” is when Sir Henry and Watson went out on the moor to find Seldon. They were drunk! The only way I’d go out on the moor at night!

“The Hound of the Baskervilles” is the most filmed mystery story in film history, with over 20 versions. I have 14 of them myself. The story has been translated into 65 languages including Braille and pig-latin! The Russian version is great. It’s available with English sub-titles. I agree that no one has done the definitive Hound yet. And it has to come out of that thick wall of fog and jump into the eye of the audience. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rocks!!

Well, it also is the last great Gothic novel – on that field, Stoker’s Dracula probably beats the Hound, as far as adaptations are concerned.
I like the Russian version, although the acting is a bit too much blood-and-thunder-styled for my taste. As far as accuracy is concerned, I find the 1968 BBC version most exciting. =)

I’m very glad you enjoyed it. Gosh, I would love to see the old Danish silents from Nordisk, made between 1908 and 1911!
