The Hound of the Baskervilles (1929 film) The Hound of the Baskervilles (1929 film) The Hound of the Baskervilles (German: Der Hund von Baskerville) is a 1929 German silent mystery film directed by Richard Oswald and starring Carlyle Blackwell, Alexander Murski, Livio Pavanelli. The film is an adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle. It was the last Sherlock Holmes adaptation in the silent film era. Richard Oswald had penned an earlier adaptation of Conan Doyle's tale for the 1914 serial "Der Hund von Baskerville". This version was not a remake of that serial but was a straight adaptation
The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002 film) stars Richard Roxburgh as Sherlock Holmes and Ian Hart as Doctor Watson. Hart would play Watson again in the 2004 TV film "Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking", also written by Cubitt. The hound was a mix of animatronics and computer generated images and was created by the same team, Crawley Creatures and Framestore, that provided the dinosaurs for "Walking with Dinosaurs" and "The Lost World". This version diverges from the novel in a few instances. The film is set in the time period the original tale was published as opposed to when it was originally set.
