5.0 out of 5 stars A Sophisticated Action/Comedy: They Don't Make 'Em Like This, August 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bulldog Drummond [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Bulldog Drummond was indeed made in 1929, yet after watching this early talking picture, it's hard to contemplate that it was made then. It is so sophisticated and daring for its time that you feel that it was made at least in the 50's! The acting efforts of Ronald Colman and Joan Bennett are fabulous. The last line of the film is perhaps the best tagline of all movies made. This picture is sort of like a Citizen Kane of England. A marvel it is!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ronald Colman is the first "talking" Bulldog Drummond, June 16, 2001
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)      
Producer Samuel Goldwyn wanted to make sure Ronald Colman's first talking picture was a success, which explains why he hired Sidney Howard and Wallace Smith to write the screenplay for this 1929 film directed by F. Richard Jones. Colman plays Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, a British veteran of the Great War who is bored and looking for some excitement now that he is back in civilian life. So when young Phyllis Benton (Joan Bennett) needs his help in freeing her uncle from a nursing home from the evil Erma Peterson (Lilyan Tashman) and Carl Peterson (Montagu Love--yes the names of the actors sound more evil than their characters), our hero jumps at the chance for action. It seems the villains are trying to use nefarious means to get the uncle's fortune. The result is a fairly comic game of cat and mouse between Bulldog and the girl against the not too bright villains. Our hero and the lady are forced to make a couple of exciting last second escapes, always employing a nice deftness that gives the proceedings a touch of class. However, it is impossible not to recognize that this is a very early talking film every time all of the actors huddle around some object that is hiding the microphone. Colman received an Oscar nomination for his performance, as did William Cameron Menzies for the Art Direction. A lot of actors played Bulldog Drummond over the years, including Ralph Richardson and Ray Milland, but none of them had the elegance and panache of Colman. In 1934 Colman made "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back."

3.0 out of 5 stars What To Do When You're Bored, July 9, 2000
By James L. (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Bulldog Drummond [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Bored war vet "Bulldog" Drummond places an ad in the newspaper looking for something to do, and the answer arrives in the form of a pretty blonde whose uncle is being held captive by a mad scientist and his partners in an asylum. To say that the plot is farfetched would be an understatement. There are so many holes you stop counting and just "go with it". Ronald Colman as Drummond gives a fun, charming performance, and is one of the main reasons to see this early talkie. Another reason is his sidekick, Algy, played well by Claud Allister. He provides much of the film's humour. Joan Bennett is awkward as the heroine, and would develop into a much better actress as she became older. Bulldog Drummond is a breezy action film, and if you overlook the ridiculous plot and instead focus on the humour and Colman's performance, you will enjoy the movie.
