The Hound of the Baskervilles is a 1939 film based on the novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was directed by Sidney Lanfield and stars Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson.

It is among the best-known cinematic adaptations of the book, and is often regarded as one of the best. Because Fox was unsure that the film would be a success, and that Rathbone and Bruce would appear in more Sherlock Holmes films together, top billing went to Richard Greene, who was the film’s romantic lead. Rathbone was billed second. Wendy Barrie, who played Beryl Stapleton, the woman with whom Greene falls in love, received third billing, and Nigel Bruce, the film’s Dr. Watson, was billed fourth. In all their other Holmes films, Rathbone and Bruce would receive first and second billing respectively.

The Hound of the Baskervilles marks the first of the fourteen Sherlock Holmes films starring Rathbone and Bruce. It is also notable as the earliest known Sherlock Holmes film to be set in the Victorian period of the original stories; all previous Holmes films, had been updated to a setting contemporary with the films’ release. It is also the only film in the series to be a strict adaptation of a source material, while subsequent films in the series only incorporated elements of different Sherlock Holmes stories.
