Bulldog Drummond
Bulldog Drummond is a British WWI veteran who longs for some excitement after he returns to the humdrum existence of civilian life. He gets what he's looking for when a girl requests his help in freeing her uncle from a nursing home. She believes the home is just a front and that her uncle is really being held captive while the culprits try to extort his fortune from him.
From the archive
I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. Bulldog Drummond is an adventure/crime film that spawned a long running series of movies. While this wasn't the first film to attempt to capture the popularity of the series of mystery novels on which it was based, this was the first attempt with sound, which helped launch the series. Lead actor Ronald Colman would be given an Oscar nod for his role in the picture.
