Richard Oswald had penned an earlier adaptation of Conan Doyle's tale for the 1914 serial Der Hund von Baskerville. This version was not a remake of that serial but was a straight adaptation of the source material.[1]
The British-based American actor Carlyle Blackwell was hired to play Holmes, as he was "suitably Britannic".[4]
