回复 :这个家庭有着一对父母、十二个孩子和一堆宠物，热闹混乱的局面反而为家庭增添快乐。尤其是那些性格不一、年龄各异的儿女们，就像活宝一样深得父母欢喜。现在，这家人正面临着前所未有的变化：因为父亲汤姆（史蒂夫·马丁 Steve Martin 饰）要去大城市的高校球队任教，他们要搬往那里生活了，这亦意味着，孩子们会有更好的教育和更广阔的发展空间；当然，父母日渐繁忙的工作也会削减他们和孩子沟通的时间。母亲凯特（邦尼·亨特 Bonnie Hunt 饰）的作家事业也如日中天，甚至要离家宣传新书。孩子们已经和父母日渐生疏，大城市的生活让这个家庭得到了日渐光鲜的地位，却失去了内在的情感纽带。看来，汤姆和凯特要重新思考和抉择了。
回复 :A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.- JohnHowardReid, imdb
鸟山雄司
回复 :The memories of the title are the recollections of a young woman’s older sister that killed herself mysteriously. The subtle traces of abstractness that inform the film show signs of experimentation by the film’s rookie director, full of dramatic careers in her middle-50s making her feature debut.
