Format:VHS Tape
This film was shown on TV some years ago, and I did manage to capture it on VHS, but try as I might, I can not locate it on DVD ! (My VHS machine is on the blink !)
This is a great little story, and features some cleverly portrayed atmospheric scenes on the London Underground (albeit studio, but very well done !). I am a bit of a 'London tube enthusiast', and found the sets quite convincing ! Although part thriller, it has a nice, laid back comedy undertone, and a wonderful 1930's feel.
I am a fan of a lot of older British B/W films, and would love to own this particular one on DVD. Please can it be done?

I haven't bought the VHS tape and this film is desperately needed on DVD. It is one of the best films of the thirties, a funny breeze of a thriller with Fay Wray and the superb Hulberts, Jack and Claude, who provide the laughs. The Art Deco atmosphere and the black and white photography are top-notch. The film ends with a much admired chase through the London Underground. This rates alongside Genevieve as one of Britain's most valuable historic films.

Mr DIXON tells it all.
That wonderful GAUMONT BRITISH film, shot at Shepherd's Bush studio, produced by MICHAEL BALCON, was released in Britain in May 1935, in the full 73 minutes version. It was released in the US, in July 1935, under the title of ALIAS BULLDOG DRUMMOND and cut (!!) to 63 minutes to keep the
mystery story free from comedy!
It was later restored to its full length and original title.
ALFRED JUNGE, who had a brilliant career as an art director, including
big US productions shot in Britain, worked on that one.
Thanks to the British Council, I saw a 35 mm print
The usual small hard core of movie buffs, mainly geared to US movies, sat in the Cinémathèque and was quite enthusiast. If WALTER FORDE had been present, we would have showered him (plus the cast and the crew) with
bérets and baguettes.
Our American friends love quaint Old England. They should make a good transfer, later sold in Europe.

Dated but great fun. The train ride and trick photography at the end is clever and thrilling.Carries its years well in my opinion.
