The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sherlock Saturday takes us back to the first (and what is widely regarded as the best) of 14 films starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The most adapted of any Holmes story, The Hound of the Baskervilles takes place mostly on the moors of Devonshire which has seen the death of Sir Charles Baskerville (Ian Maclaren) and may soon see a similar fate to his heir Sir Henry Baskerville (Richard Greene). Set during the Victorian Era, the film is notable for the look and tone of the foggy moors which provide the backdrop for the dastardly plan of murder.

The Strange Case of the Demon Barber

/ / Radio

Sherlock Sunday takes us back to 40s radio and murder. Premiering on January 28, 1946 as part of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes radio program, Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is put in the unlikely situation of being hired by a potential murderer to prove his guilt. Inspired by Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the actor playing the lead role in the musical is being gaslit to believe he has committed murders at night. Quickly dismissing the “evidence” of nightly crimes, Holmes is not quick enough to save his client’s life, but the world’s greatest detective does bring the killer to justice by taking the victim’s place upon the stage.
