''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' (a.k.a. ''Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles'') is a 1983 British made-for-television mystery thriller film directed by Douglas Hickox, starring Creator/IanRichardson as Franchise/SherlockHolmes and Donald Churchill as Dr. John H. Watson. It is based on Creator/ArthurConanDoyle's 1902 novel ''Literature/TheHoundOfTheBaskervilles''.
The cast includes Creator/DenholmElliot, Creator/BrianBlessed, Creator/MartinShaw, Creator/GlynisBarber, Nicholas Clay Elanor Bron, Edward Judd and Connie Booth.
This adaptation of the classic Arthur Conan Doyle tale follows Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion, Dr. Watson, as they look into an alleged curse on the family of Sir Henry Baskerville. Tormented by sightings of a large vicious dog, Baskerville is convinced that the canine brings death, which seems to be the case when people begin turning up dead out on the misty moors.
As this adaption hews very closely to the original novel, only tropes not in the original novel will be identified.
!!Tropes unique to this adaptation:
* AdaptationalNationality: Sir Henry Baskerville is American rather than Canadian.
* ArtisticLicenceGunSafety: Dr. Watson, a veteran of the Afghan Wars, demonstartes to Holmes that he is armed by pointing his revolver at Holmes' head with his finger on the trigger, and then [[GunTwirling twirls the gun around his finger]] before putting it away.
* CanonForeigner: Creator/BrianBlessed's character Geoffrey Lyons never appears in the novel. In this film version, Lyons is presented as an imposing suspect who is at one point falsely imprisoned for strangling his wife. Holmes' solution to the case ultimately frees him.
