"Footprints?"

"Footprints."
"A man's or a woman's?"
Dr. Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and his voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered:
"Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!"

Have you ever seen the film "The Hound Of The Baskervilles"? 

"Which version?" You might reply. For there are many, but just how many are there exactly? Wonder no more! Because Howard Ostrom is back just 2 days after concluding his previous work "Excellent Fellows From Canada" to start a new 6 part essay series
"Footprints On Film" which examines the film history of the most famous Sherlock Holmes adaption. 
Games aFOOT!

Cold Case

Today we have a new entry in the Howard Ostrom "Holmes and Watson Autograph Collection" with Bernard Fox and James Cromwell. 

Cromwell and Fox played Holmes and Watson respectively in an award winning commercial for BPA's "Cold Facts. Hot Ideas." appliance efficiency promotion campaign  in 1986.

Outside of educating the public about fridges, Cromwell has appeared in such major motion pictures as "Babe" as well as "Star Trek First Contact" (Where the autographed card is from). 

Fox is perhaps best remembered from TV as the warlock physician Dr. Bombay on "Bewitched" and the inept British Colonel Crittendon on "Hogan's Heros". His autograph is already within the collection for his role as Dr. Watson in the 1972 version of Hound Of The Baskerville with Stewart Granger as Holmes.
