The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)
Гэты фільм (affiliate link) быў першым фільмам пра Шэрлака Холмса з Бэзілам Рэтбоунам у ролі Холмса. Sidney Lanfield directed The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) для дваццатага Century Fox. Найджэл Брус са-зорак, як Dr. Джон Уотсан. Рэтбоун і Брус будзе гуляць Холмса і Ватсана ў трынаццаці наступных фільмах, яшчэ адзін для дваццатага Century Fox і дванаццаць для Universal Pictures.
This film is a pretty accurate retelling of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story. It has good performances by recognizable stars such as Wendy Barrie, Lionel Atwill and John Carradine.
Nigel Bruce from the Public Domain
Nigel Bruce plays Watson as a bumbling character, which is one of the reasons I like but don’t love the series. Згодна з Internet Movie Database, Bruce was typecast early on as a the bumbling English aristocrat. Bruce worked for a stockbroker before serving in World War I. He was injured and wheel chair bound but made a full recovery. На працягу многіх гадоў, he was part of the cricket club that also included Boris Karloff that introduced the sport to Hollywood.
The movie is set in Victorian England and runs about 1 hour twenty minutes. This film and Прыгоды Шэрлака Холмса (1939) were probably the best two Sherlock Holmes films, where Rathbone played Holmes and Bruce played Watson.
