The Hound of the Baskervilles

When a nobleman is threatened by a family curse on his newly inherited estate, detective Sherlock Holmes is hired to investigate. A legendary hound is said to be tormenting the ancestors of Sir Charles Baskerville, but is there any truth to these local rumours? In this 1983 British made-for-television mystery thriller film, Ian Richardson delivers engagingly as the fastidious detective Sherlock Holmes, while Denholm Elliott, Martin Shaw, and Brian Blessed lend their talents to a story of suspense and deception set against the eerie backdrop of Dartmoor.
