Hound Of The Baskervilles, The (1959)

Hammer’s The Hound of the Baskervilles was the first Sherlock Holmes film made in colour. Peter Cushing, a devoted reader of Conan Doyle, played Holmes and returned to the role on BBC television in 1968. Christopher Lee, here the endangered Sir Henry, went on to play Holmes himself in 1962, and later his brother Mycroft for Billy Wilder.

A country-of-origin British Quad from the film’s first UK release, linen-backed. It is one of the rarest and most sought after of all Hammer Quads, and a centrepiece for collectors of British horror.
