Memorable Hounds Der Hund von Baskerville. Dir. Carl Lamac. Perf. Bruno Güttner and Fritz Odemar. Ondra-Lamac, 1937. A series of silent films loosely based on The Hound of the Baskervilles was made in Germany from 1914-1921, and another in 1929. This 1937 "talking" film was, according to the "Internet Movie Database" (imdb.com), one of two movies found in Hitler's bunker at his death. The other was Der Mann, wer Sherlock Holmes war (The Man who was Sherlock Holmes; 1937), a story about two con men who impersonate Holmes and Watson. It is well known that Hitler loved movies, but we have no indication of why he seemed so fond of Sherlock Holmes. The Hound of the Baskervilles. Dir. Terence Fisher. Perf.
