Bulldog Drummond's Peril (1938)
Director: James P Hogan
Starring: John Barrymore, John Howard, Louise Campbell
Synopsis:
Drummond investigates a string of murders tied to a scientist developing artificial diamonds.
Impressions:
Ironic that a plot about fake diamonds doesn't have much luster. There are a lot of films in this series and some are more miss than hit. This is one such example. Phyllis is rather annoying in this, but it seems to be fairly stock for the love interest in these detective stories to be that way. Fans of the series probably won't mind seeing this, but you're not missing much.
Rating:
50/50
