Synopsis Bulldog Drummond Double Feature Bulldog Drummond Escapes Captain (retired) Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond was an adventurer created by Herman Cyril McNeile, writing under the pseudonym "Sapper." Part James Bond and part Simon Templar (alias The Saint), but preceding them both, Drummond was a World War I veteran who missed his days of action and adventure and found no shortage of enemies of peace and freedom to occupy his time. In 1937, Paramount Pictures brought Bulldog Drummond to the screen in the guise of young, glib-tongued but tough Ray Milland in Bulldog Drummond Escapes. Drummond is hired to protect Phyllis Clavering (Heather Angel), a young heiress, from harm and ends up doing the unthinkable - falling in love with her. The action is fast, furious, and light-hearted as Drummond, with his comrade-in-arms Algy Longworth (Reginald Denny) in tow and the blustery, skeptical Inspector Nielson (Sir Guy Standing) of Scotland Yard trying to keep up, uses his fists and his wits to subdue a ring of spies. Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police The second shortest of the Paramount-produced Drummond movies, Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police is also one of the most surprising, packing a ton of plot into its 54 minutes. This time Drummond (John Howard) is on the trail of a mad scientist on a case that takes him to a strange old castle (complete with torture chambers) and through an extended dream sequence, with Phyllis (Heather Angel), Algy (Reginald Denny), and Inspector Nielson (H.B. Warner) trying to keep up. The most interesting work here, however, is turned in by British character actor Leo G. Carroll (Rebecca, North By Northwest, "The Man Fron U.N.C.L.E.") in an early featured part, playing three separate villainous roles.
