Lee certainly cut a dashing figure, whether dressed in tweeds or riding gear, both at Baskerville Hall and out upon the Moors. The romantic element came in the generous form of newcomer Marla Landi, as Stapleton’s fiery daughter Cecile. In a serious divergence from Doyle’s text, Cecile uses her considerable charms to lead Baskerville nearly to his end. It is interesting to watch Lee and Landi interact on-screen as Baskerville has to deal with the girl’s switch from inviting and elusive sexuality to a harpy of vengeance. The character of Cecile is not the only departure from Doyle. Hammer had of course made their mark with strong horror elements in their films.
