Format:DVD
Under heavy fog Drummond (Ray Milland) comes in for a landing against everyone’s better judgment. It is important as his friend is Algy Longworth is in the hospital (I rather not say what for).
While confronting Algy (Reginald Denny) on this delicate matter he gets a call form Inspector Col. Sir Reginald Nielson (Sir Guy Standing) who warns him to go home or leave the country immediately. “But Inspector!”, “Don’t call me inspector!”
Sir Reginald explains that he is on vacation and every time Bulldog shows up there is a mystery with a beautiful woman in distress and a murder near by.
Naturally Bulldog shrugs him off, and sure enough runs into a beautiful woman (Phyllis Clavering) in distress and a near by body being bogged down. A friend of the inspector (Walter Kingsfordis) is staying and running her house. Try as he may Bulldog can not convince the inspector that his so called friend is up to no good. So now he must enlist Algy to help prove it.
Does he succeed or is it really all a mistake?

Different prints of the film are available. Naturally the “Alpha Video” is the same old scratchy transfer. There are transfers others that are very clear. Look for “Janus Films”

Bulldog Drummond Escapes
12 April 2005
Format:DVD
While the film may have been a good entry into the B movie world, the transfer by Alpha Video was not.
A large part of the credits are off the screen. The transfer is dark, blurry at times, and generally not very enjoyable.
Fortunately, I have the Image Entertainment version as well and recommend it over the Alpha Video attempt.

Dashing good fun
11 May 2003
Yes, they are both B grade films with low production values, but both show the real strength of Hollywood, when even their second string efforts have something. I doubt if Hollywood could put out a film with such effortless ease now. Ray Milland plays a somewhat daffy Bulldog Drummond, while John Howard is lot sterner. Both films rattle along with dastardly and bearded villans. I liked them both.

Four Great Actors In One Package
2 April 2003
BULLDOG DRUMMOND ESCAPES was one of four movies made in this series in 1937. It starred Ray Milland as Drummond and Reginald Denny as his pal Algy Longworth. The plot centered on an attempt to rescue a captive female (Heather Angel) from a band of international criminals. The film received some good reviews at the time for a "B" production.
BULLDOG DRUMMOND COMES BACK was also issued in 1937. John Howard had the role of Drummond and John Barrymore appeared as Colonel Neilson. Much of the focus was on Barrymore who wore many disguises while he was helping Drummond.
