Director: Louis King
Captain Drummond travels to Switzerland in order to marry his girlfriend but the disappearance of a dangerous cargo of explosives makes him delay his plans.
Just splendid. Perhaps the best of them all.
Another fabulous movie 🍿❤️
The butler is so great he also made the template for butlers everywhere.- the Jeeves of butlers
The butler adds a lot of interest to the stories.
@@marylougeorge9890 I rather like him, sir.
@@101Volts I agree, madame.
@@marylougeorge9890 Begging your pardon, madame. Perhaps I was exhausted, and in desperate need of rest.

Really good 30's film. Great time waster!!
@PizzaFlix This movie was delightfully funny. I'm watching all the movies in the Bulldog Drummond series. Great fun. Thank you for posting them for us to enjoy.
Me too, Linda. Have watched these films many times.
John Barrymore actor legendary 🎭
Theatre 🎭
DELIGHTFUL ! CHEERZ
Damm fine acting
DamN
I like the John Barrymore "Nielsen" better than H.B. Warner. Barrymore just steals every scene. lol
I love an old time train mystery. Or was it a boat mystery? 🤔🤔
John Howard became a schoolteacher after his acting career ended.
Maybe biggest role was playing fiance' of Katherine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story". A true gem of a film from 1940.
"DEADLIER THAN THE MALE (1967) with Elke Summers and Richard Johnson, (HE was...) SERIOUSLY considered to be James Bond BEFORE Sean Connery", ...was an attempt to update Bulldog Drummond to the '60s spy craze. I wish there was an earlier, 1930s or '40s version of this film with a kabal of female assassins.
So glad fainting is out of fashion!
I knew this was going to be a good movie when I saw that it was approved with certificate #3652.🙄
More women have got into trouble in the movies by not obeying their men. However, without this cliche, suspense would be harder to come by.
Back 4 second go round😅😅😅😅😅😅
26:19
Oh brother, talk about juvenile directing.
Louise Campbell and/or her part as written in this version is a terrible Phyllis.
So whiney!
A Whitney and STRANGE
I love these old movies no filthy language and the acting was so classy loved the way they dressed to thank you for posting this great movie
And interesting plots!
You said it pal!
Bulldog.....brash and bold
Tenny........witty and wise
Algie Walgie......gullable and a gonche
Put them all together and what do you get, a damn good movie.
Great upload.
Gonche?
E.E. Clive was a treasure.
Gonche means a gullible idiot, 😝
Tenny's also no stranger to danger, depending on the occasion, and he doesn't tend to run off. He's willing to take some hits for the team.
Phyllis got a bit grumpy this time, but cheered up in the end like the jolly good sport she is. Hurrah!
Loved all of these Bulldog Drummond movies. Wish there were more. I wonder, did they ever get married? 😊
lol
Good question .
In one movie, they actually do! That movie is "Bulldog Drummond's Bride," but it was a bumpy ride before they were married! It's the last one of this 8 film (1937 - 1939) series.
(Don't get me wrong, there are more Drummond movies than the 1937 - 1939 series, but I'm being specific here.)
In the books they did.
Barrymore does a good job in this movie and appears completely sober.
thank you. i rather like it sir
John Barrymore townhouse in NYC is called "Frankie & Johnnie's" Now.....John Barrymore use to hangout at Keens's Steak House in NYC built in 1885...His pipe is on display with other famous people's pipes who use to dine there...Keens is still doing a great business...When you go into Keens, it takes you back in time..
NYC a staple
Especially brooklyn
In 1937 a film could still have a friendly Japanese secret agent.
That was also the case in 1939; see the Mr. Moto series with Peter Lorre. However, they stopped making those films at that point. 8 Mr. Moto movies were released from 1937 - 1939.
I just thought John Gielgud was the ultimate gentleman's gentleman, until I met Tenny! Where are those great butlers today?
I quite agree .one just cant get the staff.
Presumably butling for God.
Tenny's no stranger to danger, he's willing to take hits for the team, he doesn't run off, he doesn't complain when death stares him in the face... Why is it exactly that this series hasn't yet made a comeback?
Didn't we see one at Buckingham Palace when Paddington Bear had a pot of jubilee tea with the Queen.

At 10:00 rare Barrymore slapstick. By this time he apparently would take on almost any role and had likely burned his bridges with other studios and directors. Why else would he be in this Paramount B feature credited "with"?
Great old movie. Love 'em all. Thank you so much for this. Presumably Barrymore was one of the Barrymore dynasty but somehow, I doubt it. Most enjoyable, so thank you very much. i am one year older than the film!
A member of the Drew and Barrymore theatrical families, he initially tried to avoid the stage, and briefly attempted a career as an artist... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barrymore
STRANGE-how old are you
@@jacquelinejanz8466 I was born March 1936 so I am now 85! Still playing and enjoying golf. Regards, October 2021.
He's Definitely part of the Drew dynasty!👍👏👏👏
@@marylougeorge9890 Thank you Mary Lou. Your reply came after 3 years!
Good Movie, all these episodes are, thank you, beaut to follow these entertaining characters, from a great era in film.
Every 3 yrs later you can watch these flicks again and again.
…or sooner. ❤
love these old b&w movies, classics
Thank you for Bulldog Drummond videos! I've become a fan!👏👏👏♥️
I'm not real sure about the "revenge" in the title, however.
Revenge is seldom good.
It’s better to just forget.
It doesn't make sense to me, either. This seems to be just one of those cases where it's "Eh, let's just name the movie" and so they put a bit of an empty title on it.
Except for the endlessly screaming women, this is a good movie!
Well, it was the '30s, so women had to be portrayed as faint-hearted cowards.
I love these old movies they have a story the are very relaxing .which there were more .
Oh good! Another movie with EE Clive (Tenny)
Love these films but did no one else notice one minute they are back and forth between the train and the boat....? The boat that is already 'underway'?
The sign earlier said "Boat-Train" or "Train-Boat." I'm guessing that either the train was placed on the boat, or the boat never left the harbor and the train was right next door. I'm not quite sure which is true; I thought the boat moved.
After a little bit of research, apparently a "Boat Train" was once semi-common in England area. They'd have a train (or at least a few cars?) get loaded up onto a boat, then it could keep going on its way at the next location. There seem to still be a handful left, but it's a lot less common now than it was in the 1930s.
I enjoy the sub-plots most, and this new opportunity to view this collection of classy movies. Thanks
If you can out up with a somewhat ridiculous storyline, it's watchable. It gets a 5/10 from me. 18 Apr 2024
With all those creases man there so sharp you could cut your self!,, all the dry cleaning my,,,,...woo! Thank you 🙏
Why would he take the dismembered hand from the plane crash though?? I'm laughing so hard at that.
Angelica K
But the hand was a significant clue!
Yummy!
Gotta hand it to the writers on that one, I don't think I would have typed that story element out. That's part of why I like watching old movies like this one, sometimes you just never know what's gonna happen.
good fun . only the American actors ,Idioms ,and stock footage of trains. detract From the stiff upper lip frolics..
but "Your hand Sir" is priceless. thanks for posting.
Well, this was interesting, the great John Barrymore in a poverty row studio serial in a SUPPORTING part but with his name billed twice as large and above the star's name ! This I'm sure must have been part of the agreement in order for Barrymore to take the part but I can imagine John Howard was probably not too pleased. I applaud the director for keeping Barrymore from stealing the scenes, and Barrymore to his credit, looked sober and did well in the part. But I can imagine this must have been quite a let down for Barrymore since he had just finished the big Oscar winning MGM production of Romeo and Juliet with Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer, where Barrymore had third billing and played Mercrutio. Interestingly, Reginald Denny was also in that film, playing a relative of Romeo. As for this film, it was very well done and I think this is my favorite of the Bulldog Drummond series.
So what exactly are you trying to say?
@@scarygary-qq1pjI'm not trying "say" anything, just found this to be an interesting bit of trivia. Being a "Golden Age of Hollywood" Nerd and amature historian, I find anomalies in the studio system and film production fascinating.
E.E. Clive's butler was the funniest thing in the movie. Not sure why they cast American John Howard as such a quintessentially British character. It would be like casting an American as James Bond. Also, Reginald Denny (who played Algy) was a pioneer in unmanned aerial vehicle technology. My biggest question is, why didn't the hexanite ever explode, considering it's supposed to be dangerously unstable and that case gets tossed around quite a bit?
The Hexanite was said to be "unpredictable." In short, Drummond & Crew just got lucky.
@@101Volts And the villains' plan was to drop this dangerously unstable high explosive from an airplane. Not a great plan.
A woman falls in love with you, then wants to change you from all you do, this is typical of most women, I was very fortunate, my wife didn't want to change me, we've been married for over 45yrs, I was a pilot at large, I flew for the US Government, retiring in 1986, now I'm 82yrs old.
These Bulldog Drummond movies are great. The only thing gets on my nerves is his wife to be with her constant screaming and fainting.
Glad I'm not the only woman who finds hysterical women annoying. Tenny steals the show!
Isn’t the inspector ( Don’t call me that) Lionel Barrymore??
dominic piscopo No, that is Lionel’s brother John. Ethel is their sister.
JOHN HOWARD is the actor playing the part of Bulldog Drummond.
Love it! Great character acting
FAST PACED & GOOD BARRYMORE
The oriental man looks as though one eyebrow is thicker (right) than the other!
Oriental? You meant Asian, I hope.
@@MichaelGunner123There's nothing wrong with saying "oriental". It simply means "eastern". Is it wrong to say "occidental" to reference "western"? To say "Asian" is too vague. Asia is a big place with a vast array of differing cultures, etc. It could mean someone is Chinese, Iranian, Israeli, Armenian, Uzbek, Siberian, Indonesian, Korean, Turkish, Russian, Yemeni, Sri Lankan, Iraqi, Indian, Malaysian, Burmese, Vietnamese, Kazakh, Mongolian, Saudi, etc. The list is seemingly endless. It's folly to let political correctness overwhelm logic. You just end up sounding more ignorant than you already are. I hope you learned something from this.
I'm told that Americans put their wad of chewing gum on the bedpost overnight. Is this true?
The butler reminds me of Parker, Lady Penelope`s in Thunderbirds series.
Leave beautiful bungling to Drummond to get it all right!
"Algie's" babe is the perfect woman.
They're all perfect. For a while.
That hysteric? You're being sarcastic of course. Two minutes of listening to her shrieking and I've had enough.
Why
Does she have red hair?
@@jacquelinejanz8466 Do you?
Never be times like that anymore anymore! People look like a people. Man like a man. Women like a women
There was a dude in drag! It was a major plot point.
The friend Algy is so unbearable i could hardly watch it. Who thought he would offer comic relief to a charming movie full of humor?
I think that Algy makes a better funny man, than Jerry Lewis.
💯🔥👍
Those air cooled radial engines, burn a lot more fuel than a water cooled engines do, cuz the tolerances are much closer in water cooled engines, delivering more horse power per cubic inche. The air cooled radial engines can burn twice the fuel, than a 12 cylinder water cooled engine.
That's why the water cooled engines are put in the P51 fighter planes & the P38's, its the Merline 12 cylinder engines a very good & powerful engine, that can kick the Germans fighter aircrafts ass.
Did you get lost? I think you were watching a different TH-cam video!
Reginald Denney could have been left out.
Really enjoy this serial series. Very good! But, have to say that Reginald Denny's character was just OVER - THE - TOP waaay tooooo much.
Subliminal?
@@jacquelinejanz8466 You decide.
Where is my Biggels Book before 'Yawn' I fall out of my chair asleep.'Yawn'.
Keystone Cops :(
I don't remember Algy being such a dolt
It depends on the movie. In the eight movies from 1937 - 1939, he's the primary comical character. I haven't yet seen the two movies from 1934.
What pathetic women. One can't accept her husband-to-be's job, the other keeps on fainting at the thought of not going to some Swiss castle/chalet and screaming (or rather shrieking) when lights go out.
Hemorrhoid that is my spellings way off
Huminord or ?
