BULLDOG DRUMMOND ESCAPES(1937)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Bulldog has a habbit of running into mysteries!
In this one, his car is appropriated by a young
woman, who conveinently leaves clues to who
and where she is! He goes to her place to return
her items and discovers a mystery that gets him
into deep doggie-doo! Great fun! B+
A review from IMDb.com:
The Bulldog Drummond series of films are enjoyable
and easy on the IQ. All you have to do is go with
the plot and don't ask questions and it's all great
fun. This is the first of a newer series (earlier
ones starred Ralph Richardson and Ronald Colman)
and it stars Ray Milland as a dashing, youthful
Bulldog, though in truth, he's a bit over the
top with a hyper demeanor and often with a
maniacal grin.
The cast makes this entry interesting with
Reginald Denny as Algy and E.E. Clive as his
butler/backup and Porter Hall against type
as the villain. There are plot holes and non
sequiturs galore but these are typical of
this type of entertainment in the 30's. The
most egregious I found is in the beginning
the damsel in distress (Heather Angel)
steals Drummond's car and drives to the
estate ... where she is being held prisoner.
Don't ask, just enjoy some mindless fun
from Paramount. - GManfred
