Review of Bulldog Drummond Escapes

A young dashing Ray Milland plays Drummond in this 1937 adaption of a Captain Bulldog Drummond story. In this tale, he arrives home to London where a young beautiful woman steps in front of his car in the fog. While distracted by a noise, the young lady steals his car. "Young ladies who borrow cars on lonely roads always leave perfumed handkerchiefs" "really, sir?" "Yes! Usually with initials."..."and the initials sir?" "Strangely absent, not at all according to the book" "would it be quite proper sir for the initials to appear upon the young ladies bag?""occasionally, but not quite in harmony with the best authorities.""probably this lady is an amateur at this sort of thing." This begins the mystery of a woman who is being held against her will. There is a fair amount of comedy in this little mystery romp and a lot of it involves Drummond's side-kick Algy Langworth, played by Reginald Denny and his ever faithful butler. "Do I have to cross examine you every time I want to find out something?" "It helps sir."
