BULLDOG
DRUMMOND COLLECTION
Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond was the
creation of writer Herman C. McNeil. Drummond was an British ex-army officer who had a
restless nature and lived an adventuresome life solving mysteries with his long time
companion "Algy". There was usually a girl or two who try to tie him down with a
wedding ring but somehow Drummond usually escapes the gallows of the last mile of
matrimony. One of the most prolific series of Drummond adventures was made in the
mid-to-late 30's. This collection comprises 8 features.

BULLDOG DRUMMOND ESCAPES Starring Ray Milland, Guy Standing, Heather Angel, Porter Hall, Reginald Denny, E.E. Clive, Fay Holden, Clyde Cook and Walter Kingsford. Paramount's "Bulldog Drummond" series got off to a start with 1937's "Bulldog Drummond Escapes". Up-and-coming Ray Milland stars as soldier-of-fortune Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, who on this occasion comes to the aid of pretty heiress Phyllis Clavering, played by Heather Angel. The heroine is being held against her will by scheming "family friend" Merridew (Porter Hall), who hopes to get his mitts on her inheritance. With the help of his silly friend Algy (Reginald Denny) and Scotland Yard inspector Nielsen, played here by Sir Guy Standing, Drummond manages to rescue Phyllis several times -- and, reciprocally, is rescued by her on one occasion.

But the intrepid hero pays no heed and is soon off on a dangerous journey that culminates at the Mere, a supposed haunted house. Bulldog Drummond Comes Back was based on H.C.

Clive, Nydia Westman, Lucien Littlefield, John Sutton. In the fourth of Paramount's "Bulldog Drummond" action-thrillers, the intrepid adventurer makes the grizzly discovery of a severed hand. Even more startling, attached to the wayward limb is a case filled with "hextonite", a new and highly explosive substance desired by the enemy in general and one Draven Nogais in particular. With his faithful servant, Tenny, played by the ever droll E. E. Clive, fiancée Phyllis Clavering (Louise Campbell), and friend Algy Longworth (Reginald Denny) along for the ride, Captain Drummond trails the villain on board a train leaving Victoria Station for Paris. At first, the wily Nogais manages to elude his pursuers by disguising himself as a woman, but his plans to escape with the explosives are halted on the ferryboat to France. Despite the relative brevity of his role as Scotland Yard inspector Neilson, John Barrymore earned star billing in this series entry, which was based onH.C. "Sapper" McNeiles's 1932 novel The Return of Bulldog Drummond. Portions of this description courtesy of Hal Erickson and all movie.com.
