BULLDOG DRUMMOND COMES BACK(1937)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Not only a new Drummond, but a new Miss Clavering!
And a new Colonel Neilson! Anyway, in this one a
deranged man kidnaps Miss Clavering, trying to get
back at Drummond for his brother-in-law who was hanged!
Mikhail Valdin and his sister then proceed to lead
Drummond on a merry chase to try to save his fiance!
This is incredibly short at just under 57 minutes! B+
A review from IMDb.com:
Bulldog Drummond was a popular character in
1920's and 1930's adventure novels by H.C.
McNeile. Drummond was a wealthy WWI veteran
and war hero (in real life, McNeile was also
a veteran and war hero, having won the
Military Cross, Britain's second highest
medal for valor).
This film is notable for having excellent
sets and atmosphere. Catch Drummond's big
drawing room in the first scene! It's very
evocative of an English gentleman's abode.
There are really nice matte shots later
of an old mansion, and several scenes in
realistic looking pubs.
The plot is pretty thin, but honestly, the
books were the same way. E.E. Clive, who
appeared in all seven films with John Howard,
is a standout! He brings a wealth of acting
experience to the role.
Don't look for especially clever plots in
these films. Watch them for the fun and the
good 1930's atmosphere. - shakspryn
