Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Wontner in his last portrayal of Holmes) is called to the Baskervilles 20 years after his first adventure there. His old enemy, Moriarty, is fixing a big race, and the owner of the racehorse involved, Silver Blaze, is a Baskerville. Not particularly successful in Britain, it was not released in the US until 1941, where it was re-titled Murder at the Baskervilles to cash in on the Rathbone-Bruce film, The Hound of The Baskervilles. Produced by Alpha Video which is not known for high quality, the transfer from video source looks no better than VHS, but for $5 and no region encoding – which means anyone can view it – it is excellent value. Great cover art, for a relatively uncommon film. Recommended. Available from Oldies.com in the US, where your webmaster was able to obtain 5 DVDs for $25!
