Reviews:

This movie works on every level. Don’t miss this film treat!
This film is a delight! Not only does the story unfold at a fine pace throughout the entire film, the atmosphere is wonderfully ominous in many scenes.

It has been so long since I have read any Sherlock Holmes books that I was able to watch the film without any preconceived notions of what to expect and this film is a near masterpiece. It works as a mystery, as a detective story, a suspense story, a buddy film, a romance, a drama and in places it is as about an effective of an horror film as I’ve seen lately.

For folks that complain that this movie isn’t entirely faithful to the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle book it came from, I say, “So What?” Enjoy the book for what it is and do the same with the movie. Very rarely is a movie entirely faithful to an original book and usually for good reason. This movie stands on its own merits as a spectacular film.

Basil Rathbone brings Sherlock Holmes to life vividly. The working relationship between Holmes and Dr. Watson is so well fleshed out on film that it is fun to watch. Holmes disguises are nothing short of entertaining. The young Henry Baskerville is portrayed by a handsome young actor who has screen presence. The spooky “moors” and the Baskerville Estate become a presence just as if they were a character in the film. The entire array of characters introduced to us in this film were all well played and endlessly interesting to watch.

This movie is a must see for folks who like good movies. I give it a 9/10, and that may be a bit too low!

A classic mystery
Made way back in 1939, since then many incarnations of the great detective have taken on the famous hound and won. I can’t say I find this the quintessential version, but it does have many favourable qualities, the actual hound itself brings true fear, the scenes involving it with Sir Henry are incredibly realistic, and even now look very effective. There is a great sense of atmosphere, the moors look decidedly spooky. The performances all round are very good from the supporting cast, Lionel Atwill and Richard Greene I thought were particularly good in their respective roles. Rathbone’s ‘goods pedlar’ is a treat to behold, the master of disguise at work! The fashions look great too, they managed to capture the Victorian era beautifully.

I understand that for a few plot changes are unforgivable, but I can understand why, and on occasion changes can help, for pacing, timescale etc.

Rathbone and Bruce combined wonderfully well in this earlier outing, they seemingly had an easy working relationship, it all looks so easy. The Universal movies would became bolder and more dramatic, with greater fiddling to the plot lines.

A quality suspense mystery 8/10
