@PizzaFlix Great show. This is where he meets Phyllis, and it's love-at-first-sight. Thank you for posting this delightful series of Bulldog Drummond movies.
Ray Milland does make a great Drummond, I had never seen him play this character. He sure is handsome. Thanks Pizzaflix, you have the best movies on RUclips
Well, I agree Ray Milland was the best actor to play the role, but the Bulldog Drummond of the books was a bone-headed, hare-brained, charmless boor (or he was such in the only one of the series I had the patience to read through), and Milland has brains and charm. Still, if they would make the films, they might as well use an actor who could bring other qualities to the role than the ones that Bulldog was born with.
@@kirkmattoon2594 Having watched other Drummond movies (but I have yet to see the ones from 1934,) I don't remember Drummond _himself_ being portrayed like that in the movies made from 1935 - 1939. However, "Alias Bulldog Drummond" (AKA "Bulldog Jack as Bulldog Drummond") has someone else taking Drummond's place since Drummond got injured in a sabotaged car wreck. "Alias" doesn't start out so bright, but he does make it out alright. Yet at the same time, some of it looked like it was just by dumb luck; part of the movie's just silly comedy that comes out of nowhere, after having watched maybe half the movie without any comedy.
And having achieved the highest honor awarded by his profession, he spent the rest of his career acting in anything he thought sounded interesting, including low-budget horror movies in the '60s and '70s.
@@scarygary-qq1pj He was in two Roger Corman movies, Premature Burial (1962) and X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes (1963). In 1972 he appeared in the ecological horror movie Frogs and the science-fiction blaxploitation comedy The Thing With Two Heads, where he played a terminally ill racist surgeon whose head is transplanted onto Rosey Grier's body.
I've also enjoyed E.E.Clive's acting ability first in the Drummond series and later recognizing him in many other small roles to which he always gave a unique performance that made even miniscule parts stand out in one way or another. A genuine actor for sure!
44:34Algy obviously didn't take a drugged drink. But Tenny didn't take a precaution with him as he did with Bulldog. Well, he did hand one to the second cop, but not the first one. What if one of those constables took the undrugged drink meant for Algy? 🧐🤔🤨 nitpick nitpick
52:01 - Made me properly laugh. I wasn't expecting a line like that to be in a film from this era, and especially not from a female character!! >XD Edit: 59:07 - Oh Shit Son!! Lmao! Took above sentence to the next level!! :D She's smart, cunning and somewhat violent, my kind of girl.; no wonder Drummond marries her!!
You have about one chance in a hundred of landing in a zero cieling in fog, completely zeroed in. Not even 200/ an a half visibility. O/0 in fog. I've seen it & the crashes.
OMG... can you get any more "old school" than this? 18:15 I mean really, twisting a girls arm behind her back and making her cry! Why I have seen that done since Marty C. beat up Susan H. in grade school! ah the good old days when a man wasn't a man unless he assaulted a woman once in awhile.

Because Britain WAS dark, dreary, poorly lit, damp, and dirty back in the '30s. My first visit to Blighty was in 1956 and it was dark, dreary, poorly lit, damp and dirty even then. The UK didn't start phasing out the use of coal for electricity production and factory power until after World War II.

Review coal's history, coal even save us in a war when we ran out of other fuels. Coal is an asset, and with modern tech, no need for 'dirty' coal any longer
This movie seems remarkably self-aware, with Drummond saying that ladies who steal cars on lonely roads always leave perfumed handkerchiefs with their initials on them, and then that actually ends up happening. And is there a scene missing, because Drummond never mentions the murdered chauffer, yet the inspector says he did. I kept wondering why Drummond never tells him that a man was killed. That's not exactly unimportant. While I love Ray Milland, he's totally wrong for this part. The Drummond of the books is a big, strong, ugly, boorish man, totally unlike the slim, dapper, urbane, handsome Milland. Ray does seem to be enjoying himself quite a lot, though, maybe a little too much, as he doesn't seem to be taking things entirely seriously. Also, nice to see a heroine in a movie of this vintage who isn't a useless, faint-hearted flower. There's some nice black-and-white cinematography, too.
It would seem that at least most of the movies changed much of Drummond's character. I haven't yet seen the two movies released in 1934 so I can't comment on them, but the 7 with John Howard are similar to this one with Ray Milland.
makes me laugh these american actors and directors pretending to be english and then giving it away with words like vacation and 'rowte' instead of 'root'
Ray Milland was so handsome
Thank you for this charming movie

What an absolutely gorgeous man Ray Milland was.
Toupee's will do that.

This is the only time Ray played as Drummond.
I love Tenny! Has a flair for comedy.
I rather think so.
excellent ray milland is the best
Ray Milland was by far and away the best actor for this role
With respect, I liked John Howard best.
Personally I think that Ray Milland made the best Drummond.

Love to see the old stars in young bodies
I agree but I still would rather see ME in a young body! LOL!
@@denisejohnson2960Or maybe a young body in you? If you catch my drift, Denise.🙊🙀💥🥶
I love Reggie !
8 years after this movie Ray Millan won the academy award for the Lost Weekend.

It is Ray Milland's acting. Which is so good....but also the directing is so much better! We can see the actors' faces...
Thank You Pizza Flix!
Great series
Great movie
Good one! Thanks Pizza Flix!
Ray Milland was pretty young in this one.
great
One of a Classic Paramount picture films of the 30s
E.E. Clive is always a treasure. Too bad they don't even put him in the credits in this film.
I see that name on the puppet list. It's right after the letters The End.
I've also enjoyed E.E.Clive's acting ability first in the Drummond series and later recognizing him in many other small roles to which he always gave a unique performance that made even miniscule parts stand out in one way or another. A genuine actor for sure!
E E Clive fantastic!Love him as the Burgomeister in Bride of Frankenstein,and as the village policeman in The Invisible Man.
@@jimpeters720Yep. I did a filmography search on him.

Why is or are the actors of Drummond and phylusis are not the same from one episode to the next. Makes for a confusing series.

Ray Milland sooooo enjoyable. Was this his only role as Bulldog Drummond?

Great movie. Who the hell takes a foreign object from their hat & first thing they do is throw it on the ground? Come on man.
I knew this was going to be a good movie when I saw that A.E. Freudeman was in charge of interior decorations.🙄

+GrumblingGrognard In these old movies only the bad guys would manhandle. A real man would never.
joe souza oh I am not so sure, I have have seen both Bogey and Jimmy Cagney slap a tramp around when needed. ;-) But, yea, 'THEY' deserved it!
Yes, but they were both playing bad guys. Movie censors and the general public would never accept beating women.

They were the bad guys, dolt.
Why these movies always make out England as being dark dreary, poorly lit , damp and dirty?
Didn't have the same sunshine as Hollywood
Because Britain WAS dark, dreary, poorly lit, damp, and dirty back in the '30s. My first visit to Blighty was in 1956 and it was dark, dreary, poorly lit, damp and dirty even then. The UK didn't start phasing out the use of coal for electricity production and factory power until after World War II.
don't worry our great leader is bringing coal back. So we can live those dark, dreary days of ol' England.

Does bulldog and Phyllis have a baby
Good question.
Yes, they named it Pugsley ;-)
The 1937 - 1939 series never said that, although they're married in the last movie released in that year span, "Bulldog Drummond's Bride."
DO they have a baby. And please don't be terrified of question marks. They won't hurt you.
