Bulldog Drummond at Bay (1937)

Bulldog Drummond at Bay: Directed by Norman Lee. With John Lodge, Dorothy Mackaill, Victor Jory, Claud Allister. Bulldog Drummond goes up against foreign agents trying to steal plans for a top-secret aircraft.

“Interesting… John Lodge only played starring role Bulldog Drummond this once, and director Norman Lee only directed this one chapter, before others would take over the well known roles. Lodge has an interesting story on wikipedia.org… was big in politics, and had a running competition with the Kennedy gang. Lodge had turned down a huge role with Mae West, and the wisdom of that can be debated. After this, the role of Bulldog Drummond would be played by John Howard many times. although the character had been created in the 1920s, for silent films, during the 1930s, the stories were now adapted into war-time plots, since europe was about to be pulled into WW II. Dorothy MacKaill is u0026quot;Dorisu0026quot;, and this was her final film. Foreign spies try to kidnap an inventor to steal his invention. Large actor William Dewhurst is u0026quot;Mr. Portsideu0026quot;, who brings them to a secret meeting of the underground. Died at 49, but he was so large, i guess itu0026#39;s not a surprise. sound and picture are all pretty iffy. story goes all around. Itu0026#39;s pretty good. Victor Jory and Hugh Miller co-star. and a funny scene where a pickpocket gets caught picking a pocket.”
