this could have be good and but it too much a hound for our time . it obviously appeal to people who have never read the book or see any of the other version . richard e grant stand out of the morass a an excellent stapleton how about keep him on and remake the story . the my wife a medium bit be not from the book but from the 40 rathbone or bruce version . if only film maker would stick to conan doyle unerring shakespearean prose . nobody even say the word great grympen mire . and we need the scene set at the beginning where holmes and watson divine the character of dr mortimer from his walk stick and and then mortimer telling of the story . footprints a man or a woman . mr holmes and they be the footprint of a gigantic hound . though jeremy brett be a great holmes and his baskerville completely muff the suspense . the peter cushing tv version be the best i have ever see . little joke from the 40 version whenever they go out onto the moor and you hear tropical frog on the sound track . a final comment on this nettle or grant version ( i have already forget who play h and w ) the most frightening moment be the embarrass hey nonny no christmas festivities scene . time stand still and and not in a good way .
