Bulldog Drummond At Bay (1937)

A pacifist organization are actually agents of a foreign power. Their latest aim is to possess the plans of a remote control aircraft. Inadvertently, the adventurer Bulldog Drummond (John Lodge) is pulled into their plot and before he knows it, it's up to him to stop the bad guys! Based on the novel by Herman C. McNeile and directed by Norman Lee. There were 19 Bulldog Drummond books and countless film, TV and radio adaptations. The Bulldog Drummond series of movies were inconsistent, unlike the James Bond movies which had a specific style and quality. Probably because no one film company controlled the Drummond films. But this one is fairly entertaining though I could have done without the "comic" relief of Claud Allister as Drummond's best pal. Lodge makes for a virile hero and Dorothy Mackaill makes for an attractive femme fatale. Victor Jory was imported from Hollywood for the movie's villain. With Richard Bird, Hugh Miller and Wilfrid Hyde White.
