A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp. Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain. This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming. One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played. - JohnHowardReid, imdb

【小熊历险记】(YellowstoneCubs)是迪斯尼1963年推出的一部TV电影,早年迪斯尼曾经拍过一系列以真实动物为主角的纪录片『真实世界历险记』,后来迪斯尼又于1957年时推出了一部有剧情的野外纪实片【小松鼠】(Perri),但这些当时都是在戏院首度推出的电影。到了迪斯尼开始用心经营电视频道,跟美国ABC频道买下时段制播专门的TV电影(『迪斯尼奇妙世界』系列作品),【小熊历险记】也是其中之一,但这片却是跟【小松鼠】同样的野外纪实动物剧情片。 像【小熊历险记】这样的野外纪实剧情片拍摄起来是十分困难的,不但必须像拍摄纪录片般从旁捕捉镜头,还要加上想像力叙述成一个吸引人的故事。【小熊历险记】故事就是关于黄石公园里的两只小黑熊Tuffy和Tubby,他们意外跟熊妈妈走散了,于是整个夏季就在黄石公园里四处冒险,希望能和妈妈重逢,另一方面,熊妈妈也在找寻她的两位小宝贝,跟随他们留下的足迹寻觅而来。 【小熊历险记】全片都是在美国黄石公园中实地拍摄,由Charles L. Draper担任执导,剧本则是由Ralph Wright所完成,全片是由Rex Allen负责旁白叙述故事,配乐则是由曾经配乐过许多部早年迪斯尼电影的Paul J. Smith所负责。本片并没有在美国的一般市面上发行影音产品,而是只有推出给迪斯尼电影俱乐部的会员独家订购而已。 【小熊历险记】在台湾没有发行过任何影音产品,也还未曾在台湾的迪士尼频道上播出过。
