         Double Indemnity         Hound of the Baskervilles, The

Double Indemnity

Synopsis:
Mystery, lust, intrigue, and murder! In 1930s Los Angeles, disillusioned insurance agent Walter Huff finds temptation too hard to resist when he meets femme fatale Phyllis Nirlinger, the wife of a wealthy client. After realizing that she wants to get rid of her husband, Huff decides to help her plan the perfect crime. Accident insurance pays double indemnity on railroad mishaps, so they plot to get Nirlinger on and off a train without arousing the suspicions of the police, the insurance company, Nirlingers dishy daughter, her mysterious boyfriend, or Nirlinger himself. This tale, adapted by Billy Wilder in his snappy film noir, now comes to the stage in a delicious new take on the celebrated suspense novel.

Hound of the Baskervilles, The

Hound of the Baskervilles, The
London. Autumn. 1889. The famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and colleague Dr. John Watson are called in to investigate a most intriguing mystery: What could have frightened Sir Charles Baskerville to death? Is there an ancient curse on the Baskerville family? Is Sir Henry Baskerville, Sir Charles young heir, being stalked by a supernatural Hound from Hell or a diabolically clever murderer? In this new adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles greatest adventure Holmes and Watson pursue the answers to these questions from their rooms in Baker Street, through the teeming streets of London and on to the windswept moors of Devonshire. With a dash of humor, this thrilling feast culminates on the fog-bound reaches of Dartmoor, where finally the secret of The Hound of the Baskervilles is revealed.

Notes:
from the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, adapted by R. Hamilton Wright and David Pichette
