Hands down, the finest english actor to have ever graced gods green earth. One of the most diversely talented actors in history, Cushing carved out a legacy that will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.
I agree it's a silly mistake to make, though the Cushing / Mills pairing in the later film is very similar to the Cushing / Morrel one in Hound - you actually believe it's the same version of the characters only years later.
I LOVE how after starring in so many "little" British films, he found mark for American audiences as Darth Vader's boss (tarkin) in "star wars"!
I love when he pointed his finger up while walking and describing something. that's sinister.

Sir John Mills ??? Thats Andre Morrel from Plague of the Zombies and Mummys Shroud.
It should be Doctor Van Helsing not professor.
Poor research really.

Yes, and the Sherlock Holmes clip, supposedly from the BBC, is from Hammer's The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Mills of course did play Watson oposite Cushing's Holmes in The Masks of Death.
peckinpah1976 2 years ago
I didn't realise that. However the clip gives the impression that Mills is sat next to him. Which, as we know, he isn't.

@punditpete
correct!
Sir John Mills (the man in the interview) HAS been playing Dr Watson alongside Peter Cushing- but that was NOT in the "hound of the Baskervilles".
