Reviews
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Rainey Dawn In this "episode" Bulldog, his girlfriend and butler are in Africa trying to free a kidnapped Scotland Yard member.Again, there is nothing overly special to see here as far as a good crime film goes. It's a typical "episode" based around the adventurer Bulldog Drummond. The only person that interests me in this flick is J. Carrol Naish - nice to see him in a different kind of a role. The film gets one extra point from me for J. Carrol Naish alone.The movie is your average crime film of the 1930s that was cranked out in a hurry for the audiences that would eat it up. I have found myself unimpressed with Bulldog Drummond. I'm more of a fan of Sherlock Holmes.3/10
utgard14 Capt. Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond still hasn't married his sweetheart Phyllis. And he won't be getting married this time, either, as he winds up investigating the kidnapping of his friend Colonel Nielsen. So Drummond, along with Phyllis and sidekicks Algy and Tenny, must go to Morocco to rescue the Colonel.Two new additions to the cast as H.B. Warner takes over as Col. Nielsen and Heather Angel is the new Phyllis Clavering. Heather had previously played the role in the first movie in Paramount's Bulldog Drummond series, where she displayed a great chemistry with Ray Milland. She's back here but with a different Drummond, John Howard. She has fine chemistry with Howard as well and brings a pluckiness to the role of Phyllis that is a treat to watch. E.E. Clive continues to be the heart of the series as loyal butler Tenny. Reginald Denny is just there and begs the point more than ever of why Drummond needs two sidekicks instead of just one. The legendary J. Carrol Naish plays the villain here, his second appearance in the Drummond series. He's always enjoyable. Anthony Quinn has an early role as his henchman. This is one of the best of the Bulldog Drummond movies I've seen. Some good action and humor with nice atmosphere. It moves very quickly (runtime is just shy of an hour) and at times feels like a few episodes of an action serial strung together. But it works as a solid time-passer. The action-packed climax, which includes a man-eating lion, is the highlight.
MartinHafer Drummond stumbles onto a kidnapping and brings his friends to Morocco in search of his missing friend and to put a stop to baddies. Like the last Drummond film I saw starring John Howard, this one is over in less than an hour.Here we are again. Drummond, as usual, is on his way to marry his fiancée, Algie is coming along for no particularly good reason and Drummond's manservant is along for a few laughs. The usual formula is definitely intact here. And as a result, there are few surprises but it is still campy fun and worth a look for fans of B-movies. I'd say more about the film, but frankly it was so ordinary (like eating toast actually) that I think I am done.By the way, in a relatively small role is a very young and not yet famous Anthony Quinn.
Spondonman The opening ruse to keep Drummond & Co. from finding Adventure and to find Marriage wears thin after 10 minutes or so, but this potboiler soon picks up speed - the plane taking them all to Morocco was slower.J. Carroll Naish as the baddie kidnaps the goodie from Scotland Yard, H. B. Warner for his state secrets, flies him out of the country with Drummond in pursuit. I won't give the game away as to whether he, Algy, Tenney and Phyllis succeed in releasing Warner, properly chastise the baddies (including the cub Anthony Quinn) and fly back home into a happy ending - you'll have to bite your nails and watch it!At times utterly predictable, even with a rather savage lion in some shots - what did they have to do to make it so mad - but as usual a very watchable entry in this series.
