Console best movie i've ever seen.
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Rainey Dawn One of the better Bulldog Drummond films. There is plenty of action in this one. While I do not consider the film anything above an average crime film of the time era, I can say out of all the Bulldog Drummond films this is one of the better ones.In this "episode", Bulldog is on his way to Switzerland to marry his girlfriend when he is stopped by a cargo of explosives disappearing. There is a stolen formula for a new bomb involved.It's OK. Not a great movie but it has it's moments of excitement. So many crime films of the time era that were pumped out to audiences in a hurry but they took a little bit more time to pump out this "episode" of Bulldog Drummond. 4/10
utgard14 Bulldog Drummond's plans to get married are interrupted when a top-secret explosive is stolen. Seems like a very familiar plot that was used in dozens of similar B detective movies, doesn't it? Well it is but there are a few new touches, such as the arm business, that keep it interesting. Most of the comedy in this one is not that funny. Reginald Denny's Algy is especially irritating this time around. E.E. Clive can still be depended upon, however. This movie also finally lets us meet Algy's wife Gwen, played by Nydia Westman. She's an insufferable character whose one joke ("Algy-walgeeeee!") wears out its welcome immediately. For his part, John Howard does fine. He improves considerably whenever he has scenes with lovely Louise Campbell. John Barrymore steals every scene he's in, which isn't as many as I'd have liked. The Great Profile's career was in poor shape at this point, as evidenced by his doing these quickies. Still, he does his job admirably and is enjoyable to watch. Frank Puglia plays the villain in drag and that's a pretty hideous sight. It's very unconvincing that other characters aren't able to immediately recognize he's a man in a dress. Not my favorite of the series but watchable. It's just shy of an hour long and moves along briskly. Can't think of a reason not to watch it if you're a fan of these sorts of programmers.
blanche-2 ...he can ever stop working on a case long enough.In this Bulldog Drummond film, Hugh (John Howard) and Phyllis (Louise Campbell) are close to their wedding, when he becomes involved in the protection of a new explosive, recently invented by a scientist. Supposedly this explosive is fragile and will go off if you even brush past the container.The explosive is in a suitcase, which is stolen. For something that will go off if you breathe on it, this suitcase was thrown, dropped, you name it, and it never blew up.Phyllis, in her sweet way blew up, however, and wondered if she could marry Hugh Drummond when he's so involved in detective work.John Barrymore again gets top billing as the Colonel, and he's great. Howard is an excellent Drummond, Reginald Denny is on hand as the confused Algy, and E.E. Clive is the butler who is so much more. It's a nice cast.These Drummond films are B movies and are enjoyable and entertaining. They shouldn't be judged in comparison to Citizen Kane. The Saint, Bulldog Drummond, Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto - all second features that are delightful.
JohnHowardReid The third and weakest of the Paramount series, "Bulldog Drummond's Revenge" seems to run much longer than its 57 minutes, thanks mostly to the exasperating "comic relief" contributed by Reginald Denny, and the boring clichés of its ho-hum, stolen secret formula plot. Although the climactic action is set on a train, director Louis King proves unequal to the task of providing suspense, let alone atmosphere. Top-billed John Barrymore actually has an extremely small role as Colonel Nielson (he's given a big introduction and then virtually disappears), while Louise Campbell makes little impression as Phyllis Clavering. No match for Ray Milland's Bulldog, super-spruce John Howard even allows scheming heavy, Frank Puglia, to steal the picture.
