The Hound of the Baskervilles
In this early version the classic "Hound of the Baskervilles" mystery is not faithfully adapted, Watson's character is absent and there are two Holmes. Holmes' foe is called Stapleton and he menaces Holmes' client Lord Henry and his fiancée, Laura Lyons, masquerading himself as Holmes. Hidden passages, hand bombs and mechanical devices abound, reminding more of a serial than of a Conan Doyle story.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This 1914 curio constructs a wildly loose adaptation, relying on hidden passages, hand bombs, and mechanical contraptions more reminiscent of serialized adventures than Doyle's cerebral puzzles. With Watson absent and two Holmeses—one an impostor—the plot prioritizes perpetual menace over methodical deduction.
What lingers after viewing is the charm of a primitive, action-heavy romp that boldly reimagines the source material as a proto-thriller, swapping pipe-smoking contemplation for secret doors and constant peril. — MovieFinder Editorial
