The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)
This film (partnerský odkaz) bol prvým filmom Sherlocka Holmesa s Basilom Rathbonom v hlavnej úlohe Holmesa. Sidney Lanfield directed The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) pre Twentieth-Century Fox. Nigel Bruce čo-hviezdy ako Dr. John Watson. Rathbone a Bruce bude hrať Holmes a Watson v trinástich ďalších filmov, ešte raz pre Twentieth-Century Fox a dvanásť pre 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. According to the 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. Po celé roky, 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. Tento film a Dobrodružstvo Sherlocka Holmesa (1939) were probably the best two Sherlock Holmes films, where Rathbone played Holmes and Bruce played Watson.
