Убийство в Баскервилей (1937)
Артур Вонтнер, возможно, лучший фильм Изобразитель Шерлока Холмса. His fifth and final outing as Holmes in Убийство в Баскервилей (1937). Фильм был выпущен в Великобритании в 1937 но не был выпущен в Америке до января 15, 1941. Wontner was excellent as usual but Убийство в Баскервилей is the weakest offering in the series.
The film (партнерская ссылка) is loosely based on the Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventures of the Silver Blaze. Twentieth-Century Fox adapted the same story for the Charlie Chan series in Чарли Чан на гоночной трассе (1936). В этом фильме, Sherlock Holmes is attempting to prevent Professor Moriarity and Colonel Sebastian Moran from interfering with the result of a race.
Professor Moriarity and Colonel Moran have secured a hideout in the heart of London. A racing man pays Moriarity “a consideration” to eliminate the favorite “Silver Blaze” from a horse race in the country.
Complicating Professor Moriarity’s scheme is Sherlock Holmes’ and Dr. Watson’s visit to their old friend Sir Henry Baskerville. Holmes is catching up with Sir Henry twenty years after the incident in the Doyle story “The Hounds of the Baskervilles”.
Holmes assists Inspector Lestrade with the case after two men are murdered and “Silver Blaze” disappears. Holmes must solve the disappearance of “Silver Blaze”, the murder of the two men and save his old friend Dr. Watson from Professor Moriarity.
This film is fairly short at 64 минут. Несколько хороших копий Убийство в Баскервилей (1937) are available on YouTube but the best print is available on the free version of Hulu.
