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.

这是一个最令人愉快的大气演绎的故事，黑色的照片和忧郁的设置，这是版本可能会最高兴柯南道尔。有一个重要的情节变化，使美丽的爱丽丝布兰特既享受更大的作用和更有趣的一部分，在诉讼程序。这一变化也建立了莫蒂默博士和查尔斯勋爵的部分，但同时提供了一个很好的介绍，他是阴险或是他是一个好人巴里摩尔，在这里巧妙地发挥弗里茨拉普。
尽管它的故事发展得很好，引人入胜的大气方向和全场演员的全神贯注的表演，许多球迷可能会发现这个版本有点令人失望。至少有三个原因：如同小说中一样，福尔摩斯在叙事中所扮演的角色，尽管至关重要，却微不足道。而在这个版本中，不仅没有试图扩大他的角色，如果有任何东西，作家和导演都尽其所能将其最小化。福尔摩斯半个小时都没来，当他终于出现时，他背对着镜头。作为沃森博士，弗里茨·奥德马尔获得了更有利的拍摄角度。这是有目的的。《巴斯克维尔猎犬》的主角是华生，而不是福尔摩斯。在大部分的叙述中，福尔摩斯消失了。是华生和亨利勋爵（彼得·沃斯）开始竞选。在福尔摩斯接近那个恶棍之前，电影快结束了。即便如此，这也不是我们习惯于看到的执迷不悟、自以为是的福尔摩斯掌权。另一个问题是，冠军猎犬本身并没有在比赛中发挥很大作用，这无疑将成为球迷的另一大失望。最后，可以说，剧本对柯南·道尔的《红鲱鱼》，逃犯给予了太多的关注，而对真正的恶棍给予了太多的关注。
这就是说，所有人都必须承认，奥德马尔对沃森的诠释，聪明、迷人、头脑冷静、勇敢和足智多谋，比笨拙、愚蠢的奈杰尔·布鲁斯（Nigel Bruce）或谦逊的伊恩·弗莱明（Ian Fleming）更接近柯南·道尔的概念。
另一个球员值得特别提及：埃里希庞托（第三人中的温克尔博士）似乎完全适合斯台普顿。一个困难的部分，精彩的表演。
