THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1959). Really like this Hammer adaptation of Doyle's story. While Andre Morrel is great as Watson (not like the buffoon in the 40's series, although I dig Nigel Bruce), Peter Cushing steals the film-an excellent Holmes he is, twitchy, animated and a joy to watch. Kind of odd watching Chris Lee play a noveau riche who likes to slum, but he's pretty cool too. ***1/2
