Goofs

This adaptation makes the usual error of giving Watson a Webley Mk VI .455 service revolver. Though it has the "look" of a 19th century revolver, it was not fielded by the British Army until 1915, almost thirty years after the story is set. See more »

Brett is at the height of his powers in this, probably the best ever Hound of the Baskervilles adaptation. Although not granted a huge screen time, he simply lights up every scene he is in. Edward Hardwick also gives an excellent performance as the trusty Watson. Top production values all round, and fine acting, this is top stuff!
