Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - John Howard just does not make a good Bulldog
It looks like Bulldog (John Howard) is getting married to Phyllis (Louise Campbell) and giving up the detecting racket. One of the wedding gifts is an artificial or man made diamond. Naturally this is seen by a diamond mine owner, Sir Raymond Blantyre (Matthew Boulton.) He realized his economy is in peril. The diamond and Sir Raymond go missing and there is a body left behind. It does not take long to figure how what happened. From here things get crossed and double crossed. There are explosive scenes and goofy chase scenes. Col. Neilson (John Barrymore) of Scotland Yard is after Captain Drummond for his indiscretions and only confuses things.

The whole film is pretty much Drummond formula (screen play by Stuart Palmer and based on "The Third Round" by H.C. (Snapper) McNeile) but there is no spark among the characters or satisfaction in the chases or discoveries or conclusions.




Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Ho hum, are we to the credits yet?
This film will appeal only to those who really enjoy B movies from the 1930's. Put out by Congress Films, this is a real low budget flick that will have you snoring by the second reel. It seems that someone has stolen one of Bulldog Drummond's wedding presents, and in the process killed a man guarding all the gifts. Bulldog (John Howard)leaves his bride-to-be to get the gift back. From here on the movie doesn't get any better. "Bulldog Drummond's Revenge" is a better selection in the series. Better yet, opt for Monogram Picture's "Mr Wong, Detective" starring Boris Karloff which is a nicer effort and actually has a tricky ending.
