THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
Year: 1939
Dane name: "the hound"
Basil Rathbone's first appearance as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. The story has Holmes investigating a family curse - a curse that promises death by the jaws of a hound from hell! Holmes exposes the plot as a hoax created by a villian who is using a Great Dane as the devil dog. The "hound" was played by a Great Dane called "Chief", but it is said his real name was "Blitzen" (The name change was due to troubles brewing with Germany at the time.)
