The Return of Bulldog Drummond (1934)

British International Pictures (BIP) released The Return of Bulldog Drummond (1934) (affiliate link) on April 19, 1934. Ralph Richardson takes his only turn as the English hero Captain Hugh “Bulldog” Drummond. Drummond recently married long-time love interest Phyllis Clavering.

Politics and the presence of old foe Carl Peterson intrude on Drummond’s wedded bliss. When Peterson kidnaps Phyllis, Drummond determines to rescue his bride and foil the plans of Peterson’s gang.

Unlike other Drummond films, Algy and an entire team of men help him foil Peterson’s plot. Usually Drummond is a lone wolf in his films.

The Return of Bulldog Drummond runs 73 minutes. The film is a solid 7 out of 10 stars. A well constructed plot and good acting from both Ralph Richardson and Francis L. Sullivan makes the film one to watch.

Sir Ralph Richardson was born on December 19, 1902 in Gloucestershire, England. Richardson experienced sustained theater success and was the first actor ever knighted in 1947. Richardson acted on stage, film and television. He passed away at 80 years of age on October 10, 1983.
