Handsomely mounted (the interior decoration is especially impressive) but appallingly unfunny; films like "Murder By Death" or even "Naked Gun" got the right idea: if you want to spoof a genre, you have to embrace it first. "Hound Of The Baskervilles" has very little to do with the detective genre; it mostly just borrows some names and words from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's eponymous story and substitutes bad accents, crossdressing and overacting for actual comedy. Dudley Moore's incessant piano music is (deliberately?) annoying. Dana Gillespie is literally the only bright spot (or should I say "spots"....) of the movie. * out of 4.
