Ancient British comedic mystery
|
Silent screen star Ronald Colman, in his first "talking" role plays Capt. "Bulldog" Drummond in the dated and inane 1929 yarn of the same name. The players for the most part are guilty of overacting, particularly the hammy performance of Colman love interest Joan Bennett playing Phyllis Benton.
Colman is a self described demobilized World War I officer who is both affluent and bored with his existence. To liven up his life he places a classified ad indicating his desire for adventure. He answers an ad for a mysterious tryst in the English countryside with who else but Bennett. With his annoying sidekick and stereotypical British dandy and buffoon Algy played by Claud Allister in tow they become immersed in risky business. Bennett's rich uncle John Travers is being held against his will in an insane asylum run by the villainous Dr. Lakington played by Lawrence Grant. Under the direction of Montagu Love and Lilyan Tashman they are trying to bilk Mr. Travers out of his fortune using Dr. Lakington's prowess with mind altering drugs.
Drummond's mission is to thwart the bad guys, save the day and fall in love with the pretty girl. How uncomplicated films seemed to be in those days. |
