Title: The Best Holmes Film Ever!
Product review: This 1939 version of "HOUND" is, in my opinion, the best film version of a Sherlock Holmes mystery ever done.This is the first of 14 motion pictures teaming the outstanding duo of Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as his bumbling cohort, Dr. John H. Watson (although we see a not-so-bumbling Watson in this film).Whoever cast these two fine actors in these roles was a genius! For me, it's hard to accept ANY other individuals (except Basil & Nigel) in the roles of Holmes & Watson. (Although Peter Cushing's Holmes in 1959's "Hound" remake was very good also.)This version of "Hound", which was first seen by movie-house patrons on March 31, 1939, exudes the perfect eerie and foggy atmosphere that is ideal for a Sherlock picture. It's a highly re-watchable version of Doyle's classic.The supporting cast of characters is good here as well.
