Almost the entire cast of this film are now sadly... deceased. The great comics that I vaguely recall from my childhood were recruited for this comedy spoof, many of whom were already in the autumn of their careers (and beyond) at the time of filming. Despite Pete and Dud being the headline stars, this film is a bit of a strange affair and generally unfunny for the most part. It looks rather dated now, but it's still worth a look if only for the scene in which Dudley Moore is saturated by a urinating pooch (you will laugh, I promise). Denholm Elliott, Terry Thomas, Kenneth Williams, Irene Handl and Max Wall do their best to lift this film, but all in all everything falls a bit flat. The Hound Of The Baskervilles is an oddity. Even diehard fans of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore will find this a slightly grim and haunting 85 minutes. One viewing will be enough... and then we can let sleeping dogs lie.Read full review
Hilarious fun from Sherl and Waty. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore at their finest. Cameo roles from Irene Handle, Max Wall, Roy Kinnear, Prunlla Scales, make this a gem to keep.

Typical Peter Cook & Dudley Moore silliness. Some genuinely funny sketches and the cast is made up of some of the greatest british comic actors and actresses from the 1960's + Denholm Elliott, who was at that time considered a classical actor. Of course he then turned up in other comedy films, such as Trading Places. For people of a certain age (I'm 61) H of the B reminds me of radio and television comedy from the early 60's mixed in with a bit of Pete & Dud, Monty Python and Spike Milligan's Q series. Good fun.
