Poster for the movie Bulldog Drummond in Africa

Bulldog Drummond in Africa (Paramount, 1938)

Hugh Drummond (John Howard), together with Algy (Reginald Denny) and Tenny (E. E. Clive), and with Phyllis (Heather Angel) aboard his plane as a stowaway, dashes off to Morocco when he learns that Colonel Nielson (H. B. Warner) has been abducted by a ruthless spy (J. Carrol Naish). A hostile reception from the local British representative sets the stage for adventure outside the law as the crew attempt to effect a rescue of their imperiled friend, who has information the spy wants. An entertaining entry in the series, which benefits from the changes to the usual formula.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 538 for 2021.
