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.

Good question .

[@101Volts]

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.)

[@ladywisewolf3942]

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.

Oh good! Another movie with EE Clive (Tenny)

[@DateTwoRelate]

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"?

[@charlesodell804]

In 1937 a film could still have a friendly Japanese secret agent.

[@101Volts]

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.

[@fredericfederici3419]

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'?

[@101Volts]

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.

[@101Volts]

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.

[@clradcliffe570]

JOHN HOWARD is the actor playing the part of Bulldog Drummond.

[@charlesodell804]

John Howard became a schoolteacher after his acting career ended.

[@MichaelGunner123]

Maybe biggest role was playing fiance' of Katherine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story". A true gem of a film from 1940.

Leave beautiful bungling to Drummond to get it all right!

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.

[@graemesmith6721]

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?

[@101Volts]

The Hexanite was said to be "unpredictable." In short, Drummond & Crew just got lucky.

"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.

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.

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.
