Anecdotes
For years, only the visual elements of this film survived. In 1991, the complete soundtrack turned up, believed to be on discs. After a restoration, one complete print of the film was struck from the "married" elements. This film has been shown by the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, but has not been made available commercially.

Interesting first talkie version of Hound

Sherlock Holmes investigates a family curse.

The first sound version of this story was once thought lost but was thankfully recovered, although it can now only be viewed at the BFI Mediatheque on London's South Bank (where I watched it yesterday). It's a decent, industrious adaptation, unsophisticated but plucky, with a script by the great Edgar Wallace (who writes some good dialogue and makes a few changes to the story - Holmes doesn't dress up in this one, for instance) and the odd performance redolent of the silent era.

It also features plenty of outdoor shooting, and a fine hound played by Champion Egmund of Send. Definitely worth catching for Holmes acolytes.
