My personal favorite. Rathbone and Bruce shine. You will thoroughly enjoy this one. May 5, 2008

Best Ever Production of the Hound of the Baskervilles

This 20th Century Fox version of the "Hound of the Baskervilles" was filmed in the true Universal studio tradition with all the excellent production qualities generally credited to that fine studio. It is by far my favorite release of the "Hound...", and this is the one and only old classic I was able to see on a full size theater screen in 1976 when I saw what was an excellent surviving 35 mm print at a revival theater in CT having super facilities and an extra large screen.

To quote the words of a previous writer this excellent DVD transfer, which was the work of UCLA film archivists, "deserve(s) a hearty thanks from all movie fans concerned with preserving America's classic cinema heritage for future generations to enjoy".

This as well as other Holmes favorites were beautifully transferred to DVD and the box set is well worth the price for fans of the Sherlock Holmes series and Basil Rathbone. An absolutely must have!

The Best Hound of the Baskervilles Version

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are again fantistic as Holmes and Watson, they made a great team. This has always been my favorite version of this film. February 17, 2008

Terrific movie

I loved this movie when I first saw it and now I"m glad I have one for myself. This is the exact one I wanted too. Thanks Rainey December 24, 2007

The Ultimate Version

Many remakes have been done of The Hound of the Baskervilles. None equal this version--not just because of Rathbone and Bruce, but because of the incredible supporting cast: Richard Greene, Wendy Barry, John Carradine, et al. The atmospherics are perfect; the dog is scary and the grimpen mire is practically a character in its own right. This is the Hound against which all others are measured.

Terror by Night is also excellent, if you don't mind the miniaturization scenes of the train, which are a tad cheesy. June 27, 2007
