After the death of his uncle, Sir Henry Baskerville returns from Canada to accede to the family title and estate. Physician and family friend Dr. James Mortimer, concerned about aspects of the uncle's death, asks Holmes and Watson to investigate the legend of a mythical hound, destined to kill all living Baskervilles in Devonshire. Mystery-thriller faithful in spirit to the original novel, this is perhaps the best adaptation of Baskervilles. Debut of Basil Rathbone in the role of Sherlock Holmes, the first of fourteen films.
