This one is markedly different from all other Bulldog Drummonds in that it’s played straight and is not all tongue-in-cheek.  Ralph Richardson is a stalwart, cocky Drummond very able to take care of himself despite some ineffectual-looking fight scenes.  Claud Allister is an enormously different Algy from the one portrayed by Reginald Denny—Allister’s, for some odd reason, is a silly-ass Englishman type complete with monocle and Terry-Thomas delivery.
