Sir Charles Baskerville dies at the entrance of his manor, and Doctor Mortimer says he died of natural causes. However, when telling Sherlock Holmes of the case, he feels Sir Charles' death was a result of a centuries old curse that runs in the Baskerville family, which Dr. Mortimer feels will strike at Sir Charles nephew, Sir Henry, who is arriving to claim the Baskerville estate. Holmes sends Dr. Watson in his place, along with Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry, to the manor and for Watson to keep an eye out for any suspicious actions. Immediately after arriving, Watson notices the queer occurrences at the estate and surrounding moors, and sends Holmes reports of what is going on concerning the life of Sir Henry. Will Holmes arrive in time to unravel the mystery, and who is responsible for Sir Charles' death and the attempted murder of Sir Henry? Is it Dr. Mortimer, neighbor Stapleton, butler Barryman, harmless old Frankland, a mysterious wild man, or is there a curse on the Baskerville family? Very good opening entry in the Rathbone-Bruce Holmes series (even though this film lacks qualities of any ongoing entries.) The film could have been a bit more darker and foreboding (the film does have a movie studio set feel) and have an ending with a little more confrontation to it, but it does provide for much fun. The romantic scenes with Greene and Barrie have little spark, but there are very good red herring performances by the cast, which is a plus for this movie. Rating, 8.

根据E·L·多科特罗的同名小说改编，片名直译是《拉格泰姆舞曲》，是一种从19世纪末开始流行的黑人音乐，早期爵士乐的雏形。本片并没有直接讲述太多关于爵士乐的故事，更多以1920年代美国纽约这个爵士乐蓬勃发展的时空为背景，分别铺陈四个家庭的不同生活和他们之间的交汇，反映了当时动荡而又生气勃勃的社会情景。后半段更多引出当年的种族歧视问题，有说法认为福尔曼通过呈现20世纪初黑人对不公处境的抗争来呼应80年代更加风起云涌的黑人民权运动。
