苏联版的“侠盗罗宾汉”的故事。因为可以接触到客户的财务数据，在保险公司供职的主人公可以推断出哪些客户是诈骗犯或腐败分子。他白天是朝九晚五的公司职员，晚上是“偷车大盗”。 他“抢劫和敲诈”那些坏人的汽车，并把获得的钱都匿名捐给慈善机构。他很快遇到了一个麻烦，他最好的朋友是个警察，正在竭力抓捕那个窃车贼... 目前看过梁赞诺夫最好的作品，一个俄版都市侠盗的故事，简单而精巧，情节紧凑人物丰富，喜剧桥段大都能够跨越语言的界限，之后几部著名作品中使用的的手法也基本成熟，尤其是其中追逐的桥段对空间的立体运用十分独特，效果超越同时期好莱坞公路电影。
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.
