The Hound of the Baskervilles

Based On the book by Arthur Conan Doyle

The Hound of the Baskervilles (Russian: Приключения Шерлока Холмса и доктора Ватсона: Собака Баскервилей) is a 1981 Soviet television film adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's 1902 novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. It was the third instalment in the TV series about adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Director Igor Maslennikov received acclaimed reviews from abroad, including a letter from Conan Doyle's daughter, who wrote: "Had my father lived to see this film, he would have been happy"; the Daily Mirror published a review quoting Margaret Thatcher, who called it "the best Sherlock Holmes film she had ever seen."[1] At the Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street, London, very "British" music, written for this film by Vladimir Dashkevich, plays on a loop.
