Der Hund von Baskerville, Part IV: The Mysterious Dog is a medium-length, German silent detective film by Richard Oswald with Alwin Neuss in the role of Sherlock Holmes .
action
Obviously this film tried to tell the story behind Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of Baskerville : How the simple dog became an eerie creature of the English moor.
The villain Stapleton had come to his well-deserved end in the third part of the film series, but his ancestor was also villainous. Henry Baskerville's wife is killed, as is her faithful dog. But he returned as a mysterious ghost dog and caused all sorts of showers around the property of the Baskervilles. Once again a case for a Holmes ancestor.
Production notes
The Dog of Baskerville, Part IV: The mysterious dog was created in 1915 in the Greenbaum film studio in Berlin-Weißensee , passed film censorship in the same year and was banned from the Reich for the duration of the war. It was not until 1919 that this “Baskerville” film could be appraised in Germany, while the film was presumably released in Austria-Hungary in the 1915 production year. The film was like its predecessors The Legend of the Baskerville Dog and The Baskerville Dog, III. Part: The eerie room only three acts long, thus a short film of about 40 minutes.
The film structures were designed by Hermann Warm .
