6/10
A somewhat different take....

"The Return Of Bulldog Drummond" presents a somewhat different take on the title character compared to its two immediate film predecessors: this time Captain Drummond is the head of a vigilante squad, his friend Algy is his second-in-command, oh, and he has also gotten married! His main opponent here is an old foe - pretty much what Blofeld is to James Bond. Directed in a punchy style (even a dog gets electrocuted!), the film is a sheer adventure, with barely any hint of mystery. It's an OK programmer of its type; if I have one complaint is that there are a few too many written letters shown on the screen that we are supposed to read to help us follow the plot, but both the handwriting and the picture quality of existing prints make it hard to do so. **1/2 out of 4.
