Trivia:
The hound they used was a real dog called Colonel. On the set before the hound attacks Christopher Lee's character Sir Henry Baskerville, they could not get Colonel to jump on Lee, so they started to 'prod' him into action. Lee gave up and suddenly, Colonel lunged on him and bit right through one of his arms. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: The window in the bishops room is already cracked (presumably in order for it to smash in a certain way) before it is broken by the telescope. moreQuotes:
[to Sir Henry Baskerville]Sherlock Holmes: I must insist upon one thing. Under no circumstances are you to go out onto the moors at night.

When the noble Sir Henry Baskerville (Christopher Lee) inherits a property near a swamp, his friend Doctor Richard Mortimer (Francis De Wolff) hires Sherlock Holmes (Peter Cushing) and Doctor John H. Watson (André Morell) to investigate the curse that apparently killed all the members of his family.
I have not watched the other versions of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" to make any comparison, but this one produced by Hammer is a very good low budget movie. The cinematography creates a great atmosphere; the lines are very detailed and intelligent; and Peter Cushing, André Morell and Christopher Lee give magnificent and very convincing performances in their roles. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "O Cão dos Baskerville" ("The Hound of the Baskervilles")
