1 de oct. de 1978 · The concept behind the 1977 Hound of the Baskervilles involved having "underground" director Paul Morrissey bring an irreverent slant to the original Sherlock Holmes mystery. The film thus casts Peter Cook and Dudley Moore as Holmes and Watson, with such reliable British performers as Terry-Thomas, Joan Greenwood, Denholm Elliott, Hugh Griffith, Spike Milligan, and Roy Kinnear in cameos.
Review by Brett Wright. ' The Hound of the Baskervilles ' is far from a strong film. Blame is often cast at Paul Morrissey for its deficiencies. But the failure of 'Baskervilles' is mostly due to a mismatch of collaborators. The film feels very much like a director-for-hire gig. It is clearly Peter Cook’s and, even more so, Dudley Moore’s show.
