日本摄影记者芥川（林子祥）三年后重返刚刚解放的越南采访，遍地的生机令他心生欢喜，但当他无意间走进城市的另一隅结识当地女孩琴娘（马斯晨）后，方知之前所见不过是越共政府特意为他这样的外国记者安排的粉饰太平的假像。在琴娘并非刻意的“导游”下，越南平民百姓正处于水深火热中的悲惨生活逐渐被芥川尽收眼底。琴娘一家人、战后唯一留下来的某酒吧的老板娘（缪骞人）及她的正想方设法逃离越南的情人祖明（刘德华）等人的被越共任意践踏的自尊强烈地触动着芥川敏感善良的心，尽管他并无彻底改变他们命运的能力，却仍是尽力给予帮助。

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.
