Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)

A Good Version Of The Story
 
This is a very dark, mysterious version of the story - almost a horror film but not quite. Very eerie sets - especially in the Moors. The story is quite captivating and Ernest Pascal's screenplay for this film is quite good.

Basil Rathbone is perfect for the role of Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce is outstanding as Dr. Watson. Both play their roles believably well.

This is the type of film I enjoy watching on a dark night with the lights off - it creates a "creepy" atmosphere just like in the film.

10/10
