I remember when the Jeremy Brett series was coming out, my wife watched them religiously and loved them. But I refused to watch them because they were too modern. Now I look back on them nostalgically and watch them -- and they are quite good.
I agree! Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes, his voice, his mannerisms, everything, he was simply perfect for the part, as if Arthur Conan Doyle had Brett in mind, when he wrote S.H. But Peter Cushing is an awesome actor and played S.H. almost as perfect as Brett. Its sad, that Cushing is rarely ever mentioned, when it comes to S.H. actors.
How nice to see Ballard Berkeley of Fawlty Towers fame play a sensible character with gravitas. He played the balmy Major so well, you would almost think he wasn't acting.
Peter Cushing is Sherlock! As a matter of fact-Peter Cushing is everyone he plays. No matter who plays the role, or what version..I liked Watson actor too.
These were made before I knew anything of literature and British, spectacular, television. Wonderful indeed. I love Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. I was 9, then.
I think my favorite has to be when the moose head is on the check in counter top and Manuel is hidden "tidying up", then carries out a moose to befuddled man conversation with the Major. I think it was The Germans episode.
I agree he's good, and I am only discovering him now. Not quite sure yet how I am going to rank him against Jeremy Brett (whom I hitherto considered _the_ Holmes), but Cushing does have an elegance and sharpness that lends itself very well to the character. All in all not a bad production at all.

Any chance you could update this telling us which medium each performed in? I’ve never seen/heard some of these and I’d be interested in tracking them down.
Last scene sequence is really superb acting and direction. Mr Stock was fabulous in it. Just make you feel that you are watching a horror story. Perfect I must say.
Absolutely beautiful production, they did wonderful with what must have been a limited budget. It doesn't look cheap. And it's so good to see accurate casting, not like today where they have to shoehorn in anomalous characters (for diversity that never existed) that take me right out of the fantasy of the production.
That any doctor living in London of that day should not immediately associate the initials "C.C.H." with Charing Cross Hospital beggars belief. Still a great novel and adaptation.
Peter Cushing is Awesome thanks for sharing this, what was the hound doing at baskerville hall at the end of part Bless Dr Watson that scared him I thought Stapleton has It kept in the disused mine? why didn't it attack Barry more?
It's sad to read that Cushing didn't like the series and the way it turned out. These episodes are actually quite faithful to the books (bar some edits to the stories like when and how they met, and in the Study in Scarlet the explanation of why Jefferson Hope killed his two victims)
Gary Raymond as the younger Baskerville. Raymond better known for his role in the TV series, The Rat Patrol. The role of Sir Charles Baskerville is played by Ballard Berkeley, who is possibly better known today for his role as The Major in the TV series, Fawlty Towers
Many have done......The one that spring's to mind is T.E Laurence.(of Arabia) His memoir the 7 pillars of wisdom was compussive reading for all u.s. officers going to do the tour in the middle east.
A bizarre production with some odd directing choices but it has a few good moments of note. The tale comes alive in the outdoor locations. Why the BBC couldn't make the interiors more than just a stage play is baffling; budgetary constraints I imagine
Cushing is always so faultless. This was obviously a low budget production so it's unfair to compare really, I prefer the Basil Rathbone version. A timeless classic
Personally I think Peter Cushing played Holmes far more akin to the stories than any other actor. I love Baz/Nige and Brett/Burke/Hardwicke but Cushing really got into the skin of the character, especially in the Hammer version of this, despite it being nothing like the novel. Who’s the actress playing Beryl here? She’s dreadful.
I totally agree with you ie yu are totally correct i believe cushing is a fantastic Holmes ie brett was excellent but I think sometimes he over cooked it with over dramatic antics
“Do you have your service revolver Watson?”... because even Holmes knew how important the right to protect ones life is, even outside the home. One would think Chicago is the safest place on earth with their strict gun laws...
when a friend asked me if i had ever read this story !i replied wearily that i thought it was called the cat of the baskervilles,he said that i probably wasnt"feline!"very well and maybe"barking !!!"up the wrong tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i like dogging!!!!!!!
Cushing plays Holmes with intelligence and restraint, befitting a Victorian gentleman - unlike the posturing and shrieking of Brett, whose mannerisms show us Brett, but not Holmes.
I don't know that I've ever heard of someone who doesn't think Jeremy Brett did excellently in the role; however, you are correct that Peter Cushing does a wonderful job. So many actors who try Holmes do not, but he did well and was believable.
@@lyndoncmp5751 No need to be insulting. It's his opinion and he's entitled to it. He does have a point. While I think Brett was the best he did rather overdo the posturing.
@@michaeldevaney5728 Thank you for asking. My acting skills (unlike your literary skills) were honed to perfection in the plays we performed at school. I was outstanding in the roles of John Bates and second banner bearer in the production of Henry V. The following year I took the starring role of Antonio in The Tempest. This is why I feel uniquely qualified to judge the performances of others.
This is spoiled by having too many close-ups of Holmes sucking his pipe. The camera should be more fluid. Sherlock Holmes smokes yes, but the camera should have been on Dr. Mortimer while he was talking not puff, puff, puff. After that it's very faithful to the novel and I'm glad to see there are no tarantulas or "revolting sacrificial rites" that were tagged on in the 1959 Hammer version to please horror fans.
He was six foot even. Certainly tall enough for Holmes. You're just accustomed to seeing him around literal giants like Christopher Lee and David Prowse :)
Brett and Hardwicke are for most of us, I think, the most convincing Holmes and Watson to date but Cushing is always compelling and does an excellent Holmes here aided by Stock as his faithful sidekick.
@@KG-ro8ft The Rathbone/Bruce adaptations were too American for my taste. I'm afraid even tough both actors were 'british' ( neither were actually born in the UK ) they were spoilt by being made in Hollywood. I'm afraid Americans can't do British. Bruce's portrayal of Watson also made the character come across as a dithering/ bumbling fool. The Brett/ Hardwicke portrayals are by far the best, but I'd agree that Cushing/Stock make a very good combination.
David Burke and Edward Hardwick both made great Watsons, but Jeremy Brett portrayed Holmes like a theatre actor from the 19th Century. Interesting, but far to theatrical for my taste.
I really don't understand why Dr Watson is portrayed as elderly and / or foolish in most Sherlock Holmes adaptions. The novels and short stories suggest that he is a good-natured, caring man who very clearly loves women and manages to find himself a young wife in one of the early episodes. His softness and sensitivity certainly blind him to people's criminal energies, and he is often distracted by outer appearances, that doesn't make him stupid. One thing the latest BBC adaptions with Benedict Cumberbatch got right was that they made Dr Watson fairly attractive. It's annoying that many other films have shown Watson as Holmes's inferior on so many levels... including manners and looks.
I think Nigel Bruce started that tradition, but no Watson since has been as bad as his portrayal. Typical of Hollywood of the time, to completely misrepresent a famous British fictional character. Just as they did with a real character, Lt Bligh until Sir Anthony Hopkins redressed the story somewhat.
Typical Hollywood convention of the comic sidekick. As has been pointed out, Nigel Bruce bumbled, but bumbled charmingly and retaining Bruce's Watson for Rathbone's Holmes returned him to his proper status as partner after the trend of filming Holmes stories with Watson removed.
David Farley Oh I like some of Bruce's earliest portrayals of Watson, especially in the Twentieth Century Fox film 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' (1939) some of them could be kind of charming I'll admit, Just for me however when Universal took over the Rathbone / Bruce Holmes films and put Holmes in the WW2 era Bruce's bumbling Watson really grew forced and rather grating in his pure idiocy IMHO and for me could never rank of there with Edward Hardwick among other Watsons as far as being faithful to the Canon goes.
I am a Jeremy Brett devotee, but Peter Cushing plays SH beautifully. Such a dignified actor.
I remember when the Jeremy Brett series was coming out, my wife watched them religiously and loved them. But I refused to watch them because they were too modern. Now I look back on them nostalgically and watch them -- and they are quite good.

Nigel Stock (The Great Escape, Night of the Generals..)
Thank you for uploading this excellent version of a classic tale... I have never seen this one and I love Peter Cushing.
Definitely my favourite version of the hound of the baskervilles this version is absolutely excellent unbelievablely unique
soviet version is better in all aspects
WOW so Cushing filmed Hound twice, once in 1959, the Hammer film, and this one for the BBC series in 68.
These were made before I knew anything of literature and British, spectacular, television. Wonderful indeed. I love Doyle and Sherlock Holmes.
I was 9, then.
I enjoyed this version so much. Thank you very much. Much love from Arkansas, USA
You would recognise the hogs on the coat of arms!
Brilliant, and the quality looks as good as it did back in 1968.
Sir Charles Baskerville, played by Ballard Barkely who was 'The Major' in Fawlty Towers
I think my favorite has to be when the moose head is on the check in counter top and Manuel is hidden "tidying up", then carries out a moose to befuddled man conversation with the Major.
I think it was The Germans episode.
Peter cushing wad a fantastic actor may he Rest in peace
I watched the show many times over the years. Grand Moff Tarken is a great detective!
@authorizeduser485
Cushing was the quintessential Holmes; the best of the many who played it.
I agree he's good, and I am only discovering him now. Not quite sure yet how I am going to rank him against Jeremy Brett (whom I hitherto considered _the_ Holmes), but Cushing does have an elegance and sharpness that lends itself very well to the character. All in all not a bad production at all.
Nice touch. The motto on the Baskerville coat of arms translates to "Beware the dog at night."
After several versions, this is probably my favorite.
My search turned up “beware the dog OF the night”. Fitting
I looked it up too! :)
Peter Cushing already made this same movie in 1959 !
He must be thinking " Here I go again " !
Perfect for a rainy chilly afternoon's entertainment. Bravo!
A rainy day in quarantine as well!

Elise Meleisea blimey shes done all that,im sure you can find for yourself
And Henry Cavill aka Superman
Thank you for the list. Some of those are rather surprising, and some of them (like Raymond Massey) I'm glad I never saw.
He looks exactly like Sherlock Holmes.
Thnx for uploading
Last scene sequence is really superb acting and direction. Mr Stock was fabulous in it. Just make you feel that you are watching a horror story. Perfect I must say.
The young actor playing Sir Henry Baskerville played Prince Sancho in: "El Cid." I never forget a face.
He is Gary Raymond, who played Sergeant Jack Moffitt in "The Rat Patrol. "
Not forgetting he was acastus in jason and the Argonauts too.
He was also in: "Look Back in Anger," with Richard Burton and Claire Bloom.
After Jeremy Brett this is my favorit Holmes version.
This was well worth watching!
I saw this as a kid and was terrified at it...... my introduction to Sherlock Holmes.
This version is a true masterpiece
Big Holmes fan, got every take on this tale, can't help but dream about a Robert Downey spin on it.
So happy I found and subscribed to this series. Thank you for uploading it.
A fantastic version of the hound of the baskervilles excellent ie extremely unique
Totally stoked to watch this version. Ooooo!
Hello Karen, How are you doing?
No riding
I think Watson bangs that lady
Cave Canem Noctis (Beware of the dog of the night) nice touch!
This is an excellent production a masterpiece

And it's so good to see accurate casting, not like today where they have to shoehorn in anomalous characters (for diversity that never existed) that take me right out of the fantasy of the production.
Diversity that you don't want to believe existed.
Another Great Film. Thank you Guilherme.
An excellent version
This is the most detail to detail Hound of the Baskervilles of them all
Interesting. I wasn’t aware that Cushing had done this one twice.
That any doctor living in London of that day should not immediately associate the initials "C.C.H." with Charing Cross Hospital beggars belief. Still a great novel and adaptation.
I have had the same thought myself, every version I watch. Doyle must have been chuckling to himself writing that bit.
Amaising & Intressting & classic
Peter Cushing is Awesome thanks for sharing this, what was the hound doing at baskerville hall at the end of part Bless Dr Watson that scared him I thought Stapleton has It kept in the disused mine? why didn't it attack Barry more?

Holmes, the Thinking August
( crime- busting computer ) !
The young sir Henry baskerwill is BEST!
Peter Cushing and his fellow actor sir Christopher Lee the consummate professional English Actors Cushing should have been knighted aswel
Unbelievable version
Yes
Sir Hugo was an evil, wicked man!
It's almost abstract. He's a cutie.
Which character?
@@hcu4359My comment ended up here. It was not meant for this
i know everyone thinks Brett was the best, but for me it will always be Mr. Cushing.
Brett oozes 80`s, whilst Cushing fits the era perfectly.
A change of pace in the Holmes character is Young Sherlock Holmes starring Nicholas Rowe. Give it a look.
OK! I seldom vascillate on this debate, and infrequently find my resolution undecided, mayhap lacking, but on this count I favor Cushing as Holmes.
how very verbose and correct.
The Major!!!!!
A bizarre production with some odd directing choices but it has a few good moments of note. The tale comes alive in the outdoor locations. Why the BBC couldn't make the interiors more than just a stage play is baffling; budgetary constraints I imagine
Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are very underrated
Pretty good
It's the Major from Fawlty Towers!
One thing I’ve never liked about this version - why would Sir Hugo have a painting of his biggest fear hanging above the mantle to see every day??
Cushing is always so faultless. This was obviously a low budget production so it's unfair to compare really, I prefer the Basil Rathbone version. A timeless classic
I do like the Rathbone version. It carries the Sherlock detective awareness to it's best.
The dog is Old Schuck.
Indeed he is 😅
Done well.Done properly.
IN THIS..DR.WATSON IS SUPERBB...HOLMS ..& SIR HENRY IS BEST!
A fantastic version
❤❤❤❤❤❤
If the party are travelling to Devon then why are Holmes and Watson walking under the roof at St Pancras?

This version was not filmed any where near Dartmoor....very bad..
“Do you have your service revolver Watson?”... because even Holmes knew how important the right to protect ones life is, even outside the home. One would think Chicago is the safest place on earth with their strict gun laws...
Amen.
On peut même pas mettre les sous titres ✌️👽🛸😰✌️👍✌️😰👍😁
Does Holmes look like Tom Huddleston to anyone else?
The Version with Christopher Lee is better in my humble opinion. Don't pay to watch it though you will find it for free otherwhere without effort.
I prefer this version its extremely unique
how the fuck did she escape through such a small window?

It's the Major!!!!! Even with Peter Cushing , this a very low quality version of HotB....
ballard berkley faulty towers!!
This is spoiled by having too many close-ups of Holmes sucking his pipe. The camera should be more fluid. Sherlock Holmes smokes yes, but the camera should have been on Dr. Mortimer while he was talking not puff, puff, puff. After that it's very faithful to the novel and I'm glad to see there are no tarantulas or "revolting sacrificial rites" that were tagged on in the 1959 Hammer version to please horror fans.
Peter Cushing would have been a perfect Sherlock Holmes if he had been taller.
He was six foot even. Certainly tall enough for Holmes. You're just accustomed to seeing him around literal giants like Christopher Lee and David Prowse :)
The farm girl was pretty hot
I think Watson give her 1
Cush was younger but I still think Brett was almost perfect but at some time the production isn't good. Just an opinion.
And yes,why is Watson always dim witted
Awful version ! Totally miscast and cheap , shoddy sets.
I still have a lot of affection for his 1959 Hammer Horror film version
I also prefer the 1959 version, Sir Christopher Lee rules as Sir Henry Baskerville! But the locations of this one are really amazing!
I prefer this version i think it's extremely unique
Definitely my favourite version of the hound of the baskervilles this version is absolutely excellent unbelievablely unique
Brett and Hardwicke are for most of us, I think, the most convincing Holmes and Watson to date but Cushing is always compelling and does an excellent Holmes here aided by Stock as his faithful sidekick.
I agree!
Brett/Hardwicke is definitely my all time favourite version.
Not really. For most of us, it is Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as the best Holmes and Watson.
@@KG-ro8ft The Rathbone/Bruce adaptations were too American for my taste. I'm afraid even tough both actors were 'british' ( neither were actually born in the UK ) they were spoilt by being made in Hollywood. I'm afraid Americans can't do British. Bruce's portrayal of Watson also made the character come across as a dithering/ bumbling fool. The Brett/ Hardwicke portrayals are by far the best, but I'd agree that Cushing/Stock make a very good combination.
David Burke and Edward Hardwick both made great Watsons, but Jeremy Brett portrayed Holmes like a theatre actor from the 19th Century. Interesting, but far to theatrical for my taste.
Gary Raymond was also appearing in the American T.V. Series, THE RAT PATROL at the time he appeared in this.
This is Peter Cushing's second time that he played Sherlock Holmes, and the second adaption of "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" he started in.
I mean starred in. (Stupid Google auto correct. 😡)
You really mean "starred"
Don't blame Google for your inability to spell! By the way, you can edit your posts!
Ah, do not rely upon machines to proofread your prose, my dear Hyun Ahn!
I like Cushing as Holmes, and that Hammer production with Christopher Lee as Baskerville was very good.
I like Peter Cushing great in this.
He was great!
🤗 thanks it’s awesome
You are welcome! :)
Thankyou for sharing
You are welcome! :)
Never realized Gary Raymond was a big guy.
In El Cid (1961), Gary Raymond is even taller than Charlton Heston!
He's 6' 2", if that's what you mean by "big", but so thin that he doesn't look that tall until he stands next to someone else.
I really don't understand why Dr Watson is portrayed as elderly and / or foolish in most Sherlock Holmes adaptions. The novels and short stories suggest that he is a good-natured, caring man who very clearly loves women and manages to find himself a young wife in one of the early episodes. His softness and sensitivity certainly blind him to people's criminal energies, and he is often distracted by outer appearances, that doesn't make him stupid. One thing the latest BBC adaptions with Benedict Cumberbatch got right was that they made Dr Watson fairly attractive. It's annoying that many other films have shown Watson as Holmes's inferior on so many levels... including manners and looks.
I think Nigel Bruce started that tradition, but no Watson since has been as bad as his portrayal. Typical of Hollywood of the time, to completely misrepresent a famous British fictional character. Just as they did with a real character, Lt Bligh until Sir Anthony Hopkins redressed the story somewhat.
I don't understand what you misunderstand in Nigel Stocks performance. He delivers everything you mention, and is totally close to Doyle's original.
Typical Hollywood convention of the comic sidekick. As has been pointed out, Nigel Bruce bumbled, but bumbled charmingly and retaining Bruce's Watson for Rathbone's Holmes returned him to his proper status as partner after the trend of filming Holmes stories with Watson removed.
David Farley Oh I like some of Bruce's earliest portrayals of Watson, especially in the Twentieth Century Fox film 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' (1939) some of them could be kind of charming I'll admit,
Just for me however when Universal took over the Rathbone / Bruce Holmes films and put Holmes in the WW2 era Bruce's bumbling Watson really grew forced and rather grating in his pure idiocy IMHO and for me could never rank of there with Edward Hardwick among other Watsons as far as being faithful to the Canon goes.
I agree.
Ballard Berkley, 'Sir Charles Baskerville', was the Major in Fawlty Towers
