"There's no doubt about it in my mind. Or perhaps I should say, in my imagination. For that's where crimes are conceived and where they're solved... in the imagination." - Sherlock Holmes

Why watch this? On film, Basil Rathbone is the best Sherlock Holmes - cool and smart.

Plot Summary: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are called in to investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, believed by some to be caused by a legendary demonic hound that haunts the family estate on the fog-shrouded Dartmoor. Holmes, while initially skeptical of the supernatural, dispatches Watson to Baskerville Hall to protect Sir Henry, who has just arrived from Canada, and gather information about the eerie happenings on the moor.

Dad's Preview: This was the first of fourteen Sherlock Holmes films featuring Rathbone and Bruce as sleuth and assistant. Sir Henry Baskerville, the last heir to his family estate, inherited a family curse that involves a blood-thirsty canine prowling the moors intent upon ending the family bloodline. It's up to Holmes and Watson to figure out the truth and prevent Sir Henry's death. In my youth, I loved these intelligent, often scary, British mysteries.
