Bulldog Drummond Escapes (1937)

Directed by James Hogan
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Image Entertainment)

Ray Milland's only appearance as the dapper detective. It's a standard programmer set in an old English mansion constantly enshrouded by fog. Drummond and his sidekick Algy Longworth try to rescue beauty Heather Angel held captive by some counterfeiters. There are numerous hits over the head with candlesticks, sudden black outs, mysterious letters, dead bodies, etc. It's all done with a rather light tone and an occasional comedic touch.
