Lobby card from the 1959 Hammer Studios film
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are hired to investigate mysterious doings at Baskerville Hall, including sightings of a huge lethal dog!
While Holmes remains in London, Watson journeys to the ancestral home of the Baskervilles, encountering a number of colorful residents, some of whom hide sinister secrets.
