English Summary:

Peter Cushing had already starred as Sherlock Holmes in Hammer’s movie The Hound of the Baskervilles when, in 1968, he replaced Douglas Wilmer as Conan Doyle’s great detective in the BBC television series. Cushing immediately fashioned his own portrayal of the illustrious figure and is credited with bringing a great authenticity to the role. The most famous Sherlock Holmes story of all finds the sleuth and Watson in windswept Dartmoor. As the moors reverberate with the baying sound of a monstrous creature, Holmes is oresented with one of his greatest challenges. Could the legend of a bloodthirsty hound that haunts the Baskerville family really be true?

Acclaimed by Holmes enthusiasts for remaining faithful to the original novel, this most celebrated Sherlock Holmes adventure was, for the first time, shot at the Dartmoor locations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original story.
