Howdy boys and girls and welcome to what I hope to be an
amusing week. This week we will review
the same movie 5 times… yeah I did not goof there. I speak of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation
that most of us are vividly aware of: Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the
Baskerville. Printed in 1902 this
singular story of murder, mystery and mythos has been captured onto the big and
small screen no less than 22 times
including 45 minute episodes since 1921.

I would review our first incarnation but alas it is a silent
film. It is quite difficult to critique
the actors, lighting and director’s vision with announcements like, “Wow that
cue card really captured the moment!” Lacks
punch as you can imagine and so we will go over the later movies and some of
the TV movies instead. For those of you
that have always had a captivation for the World’s Greatest Detective, this
should be fun to look back. For those
that have never enjoyed the like, then this should be informative.
So join me in ushering in The Hound of the Baskerville in
its many incarnations.
