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.

　　这部音乐剧DVD取材于耶稣的生平事迹，韦伯创新地将严肃的宗教故事和前卫的摇滚音乐联系起来，是一部艺术表现非常大胆、思想性也极为深刻的作品。如果说《约瑟夫与神奇彩衣》是对圣经故事的图解，那么《万世巨星》从表面上看简直就是对传统的颠覆与反动：上帝的儿子耶稣不再时刻带着圣哲的光环，他有软弱，有动摇，更多的人性代替了神性；犹大卖主也不是出自贪婪，而是出自上帝安排的命运，自杀后的犹大穿着白袍带领一个天使唱诗班向耶稣提出几个哲学问题，耶稣竟然也不知道答案。细心的读者不难看出这样的情节安排和电影《耶稣基督的最后诱惑》的相似之处，与后者一样，该剧刚一推出，便遭到了正统宗教人士的强烈抗议，这反而增加了它的知名度，其插曲《我不知如何爱他》(I don\'t know how to love Him)、《万世巨星》(Superstar)长时间徘徊在各大唱片排行榜上。
　　笔者感觉此剧的本意和《耶稣基督的最后诱惑》一样，并不在于离经叛道，而是通过曲折的形式表现殉道者对神的服从，因为在该剧的最后，耶稣依照神的安排为人类的罪舍身又复活，并在原谅了他的敌人后升天而去。如果你对基督教有较深了解的话，相信该剧还是能够给你一些不同角度的思考。当然，撇开背景不谈，即便单单作为一出摇滚音乐剧来欣赏，这盘DVD也是不容错过的。该剧的另一个版本是1973年由环球影片公司出品的同名电影。
　　式圣经片给人更亲切的感觉。安德鲁．莱特韦伯创作的插曲优美动听，全片摄影和剪接都具一流水准。
