The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Hound of the Baskervilles, Part 1
Description
"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Hound of the Baskervilles" is the third part of a series of Soviet television films based on the works of Arthur Conan Doyle about Sherlock Holmes. The film adaptation of the novel of the same name by an English writer.
In the story, the muzzle of a dog with a body structure resembling an Irish wolfhound was smeared with phosphorus, which is actually poisonous and can cause blindness, loss of smell and even death of the animal. In the filming of the film, a Great Dane from Leningrad, Cyclone, was used, to whose muzzle, instead of a phosphorus mixture, a mask cut out of a reflective tape (light tape) used in the production of road signs was attached.
Plot
The plot of the story is based on the investigation of the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, who died under mysterious circumstances. In the Baskervilles family, a family legend about a devilish dog of supernatural origin, which pursues all representatives of the Baskervilles family, is passed down from generation to generation. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson take up the investigation of this case.
Black Shaq
The film tells the legend of a huge demonic dog chasing representatives of the Baskervilles. The plot of the legend does not differ from the one given in the original work.
Above Hugo's torn body stood a vile monster – a huge black beast, similar in appearance to a dog. The monster turned its bloody mouth towards them and flashed its burning eyes.
A contemporary of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Henry Baskerville, is attacked by a large glowing dog, which turns out to be an ordinary evil dog painted with phosphor paint.
