Good but not great
13 February 2019
This is a typical A-list film for 1914, and not bad in any way. But for the present-day viewer it suffers by comparison with subsequent versions, with their more effective pacing, modern styles of acting, and sound dialog. For enthusiasts of early German silent films, it is certainly worth seeing.

This 1914 version is included, beautifully restored, in the Bonus Features of the 2019 Flicker Alley Blu-ray edition of Der Hund von Baskerville (1929).
