A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

不可以，毫无火花，如果真的相爱的话就不会做了N年的姐妹了。假，脱离群众的故事，正常人类都会选健身教练。
出乎意料的好看 男二好漂亮啊 希望多多演戏
中规中矩圣诞合家欢 拥抱家人 发现爱情 Luke究极工具人
不管哪国的单身狗，都期待过节回家也害怕回家回家…但故事最后都是美好的，所有人都是双双对对，单身狗也如是，因为这才是合家团圆的节日。BTW，Nick是真的好型好帅！Peter也是大暖男，两个还是配的
佳节共赏，温馨浪漫“大俗戏”。但一个普世价值的童话故事，在被疫情偷走了俩年后就真的很需要啊！珍妮佛库雷子真的是gay icon！
甜死我了呜呜呜呜 确实是很适合圣诞月的一部电影 喜欢一些朋友变恋人的情节😢我和侄女还有爸爸一样站稳了我们主角cp（虽然Luke也帅炸了哈哈哈 点亮房子上的小灯灯一幕太浪漫了 还有后面Nick用卖书赚的钱租房子给对方开绿植店 什么绝美爱情😢

但前面一大部分还是值得好好打磨
太老土以至于我一直在大喊救命，为了我最爱的两个卡司只能说辛苦我自己了
太难看了。网飞是不是以为拍什么用户都照单全收？应季的电影一年比一年难看……全员挤在一起念台词，完全没有剧情可言，没有一个喜剧的演员存在，强行搞笑实在难看。
好想看啊啊啊啊但是不想一个人看呜呜呜呜呜呃. Nick真的是10 james也是看一眼就沦陷。不知道我到底是在为单身而哭还是为研究而哭。不想读了啊啊
平庸至极 全员工具人 所有人都非常纸片人 毫无个性可言 剧情四平八稳 基本前10分钟就能猜到所有剧情了 感觉剧本像AI自动生成的
两个0是没有好结果的，姐妹磨逼天打雷劈哈哈哈。整部片子的节日氛围还是很足的，一家人其乐融融的感觉。
感谢网飞爸爸提醒！一整个12月都应该是圣诞月啊！可是我却被困在无尽的工作里！也想去小镇开绿植店！！！然后每晚喝喝啤酒啥的…需要生活而不是单纯活着…
gay哪里有这么纯情和不解风情啊……无语了…直男直女写的本子吧
Not bad for a staycation Christmas
同志假日爆米花，跟直人版一個配方一樣的味道。
刚看完《蓝宇》就看这个
甚至都没看完（。 圣诞片真的能算上经典且好看的也只有BJ和LA了吧
Oh my god, the script is so shit. You can’t force people to fall in love. The family is obnoxious to the point the film is not enjoyable any more.
