The Hound of the Baskervilles is a 1939 American gothic mystery film based on the 1902 Sherlock Holmes novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Directed by Sidney Lanfield, the film stars Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. John Watson. Released by 20th Century Fox, it is the first of fourteen Sherlock Holmes films produced between 1939 and 1946 starring Rathbone and Bruce.
It is among the most well-known cinematic adaptations of the novel, and is often regarded as one of the best. It co-stars Richard Greene as Henry Baskerville (who received top billing, as the studio was unsure of the potential of a film about Sherlock Holmes) and Wendy Barrie as Beryl Stapleton.
The Hound of the Baskervilles is notable as the earliest known Sherlock Holmes film to be set in the Victorian period of the original stories. All known previous Holmes films, up to and including the 1930s British film series starring Arthur Wontner as Holmes, had been updated to a setting contemporaneous with the films' release.

這版獵犬的長處在於美式冒險氣質和恐怖氣息，佈景的人造痕跡雖然很重，可放到今天和其他獵犬影視對比時，也仍有獨一無二的恐怖氛圍。作為名義上第一男主角的亨利爵士堪稱俊美，NB華不用像之後演得那麼過於癡呆，就已經能樹立起華生的影視形象，斯台普頓也凸顯著高智商罪犯的一面。本系列最大亮點BR，此時的表演就近乎完美到角色沒有發展空間的地步，他機敏、精力充沛、富有幽默感、總在隻身犯險的特徵充滿著這14部電影。儘管故事情節上很多地方改得刪得都很糟，中間節奏略顯拖沓，降靈會簡直莫名其妙，會讓人瘋狂吐槽探案部分，只有逃犯死後的處理改得還算自然，但這片值得稱道的地方並不在此，當然也不在能和爵士打得有來有回的無光小狗上。不過本片在福影視改編裡最有歷史意義的，也許是最後一句台詞："Oh, Watson, the needle!"。
