    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The first (and only) sound film for former Mack Sennett director F. Richard Jones. His command of sound and action with this film was very well received, and he looked set for a bright future. Sadly, Jones succumbed to the tuberculosis epidemic that was running rampant at the time. He was only 37.
    • Goofs
      The players in the opening credits are set out in the form of a theatre programme. However, notwithstanding the film takes place in England, the spelling on the programme is the American 'program'. However, while the film is portrayed as taking place in England, it was produced in the U.S.; thus, the Americanized spelling of "program" in the credits is not inconsistent.
    • Quotes

      Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: Danny, pack my bag. Pyjamas, toothbrush and a gun.

      Danny: Please sir. Don't you really think sir? Yes sir.

      Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: On second thought, never mind the pyjamas. Just the toothbrush and the gun.

    • Crazy credits
      The cast listing resembles a play program with six listed names/roles on each of two pages. Both pages have "Program Continued" at the top of the list and "Program Continued On Following Page" at the bottom.
    • Alternate versions
      When first released in France, the film was presented in a talkie version in English with French subtitles and in a silent version.

      Followed by Temple Tower (1930)

    Creaks a bit, but fun.

    Melodramatic, overacted, and occasionally senseless, but who cares? Colman is almost devestatingly charming in his first talkie, Bennett is lovely (but a bit whiny at first), and Algy is a first class twit. The villains are vile, the action is fast once you adjust, and Colman is a sheer delight to watch. Why there hasn't been a major Colman revival is beyond comprehension.
