http://urllio.com/r1lwzIn this episode captain Drummond tries to find the killer of various people. All assassinations were provoked by a diamond of great value, but Drummond will face the danger.
The intended wedding of Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond to Phyllis Clavering at her villa in Switzerland is stopped short (once again) when someone murders the Swiss policeman who is guarding their wedding presents. The killer makes off with their prize possession, a synthetic diamond, made by a secret process by Professor Bernard Goodman , the father of their good friend Gwen Longworth. A guest, Sir Raymond Blantyre, head of the Metropolitan Diamond Syndicate, disappears at the same time, and Drummond suspects that Sir Raymond, who has the most to lose if Professor Goodman proceeds with his plans to publish his secret process, has something to do with the theft. He leaves Phyllis and chases back to England. Colonel Nielsen, of Scotland Yard, as usual scoffs at Drummond's suspicions and insists that a man as respected as Sir Raymond could not possibly be involved in such a crime. But, as usual, he has Drummond followed just in the event he turns up something unexpected. An explosion that wrecks Goodman's house, and apparently kills him, makes Drummond more positive that the diamond king has again resorted to murder to protect his business. He follows Professor Botulian, a life-long rival of Goodman's, whom he believes to be involved in the affair. His hunt leads him to a lonely house on the outskirts of London where he finds Goodman a prisoner. Before they can escape, Drummond and Goodman are joined by Tenny (E. E. Clive), his valet, and Phyllis, who are also (as usual) being held by the crooks. Faced by Blantyne and his armed confederates, Drummond begins to fight his way out, but is met by superior forces.
Miss Phyllis Clavering (Louise Campbell) is oh, so close to getting married to Captain Drummond this time out; they've made it all the way to the Clavering Villa in Geneva, Switzerland for the ceremony. However one of the wedding gifts gets it the way, a synthetic diamond that looks just like the real thing. It was made by Gwen Longworth's father, Professor Bernard Goodman (Halliwell Hobbes), and it appears so genuine, Sir Raymond Blantyre (Matthew Boulton) wants to steal it's secret formula to prevent the worldwide decline in value of real diamonds. I wonder what he would have thought of cubic zirconium? <br/><br/>The plot relies on the theft of the fake diamond in the early going, though the whole lights out trick and murder of the detective assigned to guard the wedding presents seems to have been a bit much. Couldn't the bad guys have waited till everyone was asleep? Speaking of wedding presents, the Longworth penguin seemed a fitting touch. He winds up knocking over a statue of a cherub that Drummond and Tenny conspired to have fall victim to an accident.<br/><br/>One of the highlights of the film is the rather elaborate looking lab used by Professor Goodman. There's a great long shot with a view of all the impressive equipment, with glowing tubes and sparking wires to lend credibility to the professor's experiments - Dr. Frankenstein would have been envious.<br/><br/>The story may have taken on a bit too many twists and turns by the time it really got going in the second half. A rival scientist Dr. Botulian (Porter Hall) is introduced, performing the same kind of synthetic gem experiments as Goodman. His presence turns out to be a wedge between the original villains and good guys, hoping to cash in on the the whole fake diamond thing himself.<br/><br/>Drummond's regulars are all on hand here. His associate Algy (Reginald Denny) doesn't have as much to do in this adventure, while butler Tenny's (E.E. Clive) role gets more physical. One of the more humorous scenes involves a frantic Tenny aboard a motor bike chasing down a van. Tenny must be in his sixties, but he's as agile as Yakima Canutt climbing aboard the speeding vehicle. John Barrymore reprises his role as Scotland Yard's Colonel Neilson, with repeated warnings to Drummond to mind his own business, and falling victim to a crooked tie gag twice.<br/><br/>More so than most Drummond adventures, you'll really have to pay attention once the plot thickens with the real and fake Dr. Botulian. As usual, good guys and bad guys trade the upper hand repeatedly until Drummond's side achieves victory. The film probably could have used the penguin for a humorous send off, however by the time it's all over you get the feeling that Drummond and Miss Phyllis are one step closer to the altar.
British adventurer John Howard (as Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond) is all set to marry girlfriend Louise Campbell (as Phyllis Clavering), in Geneva, Switzerland. Back in Scotland Yard, ace investigator John Barrymore (as Colonel Nielson) sends the couple books as a wedding present. He couldn't make the wedding. While looking over their gifts, Drummond and Phyllis are amazed at the delivery of a stunning diamond. Supposedly artificial ("glass"), the jewel is actually a valuable new synthetic diamond. Almost immediately, the diamond is replaced by a dead body. Of course, Drummond must cancel his wedding to solve the crimes...<br/><br/>This was the last appearance by Mr. Barrymore in the "Bulldog Drummond" series. Frequently shouting, "Don't call me inspector!" it's Barrymore's least successful characterization of Colonel Nielson. Reportedly, alcohol was taking a heavy toll on the acclaimed actor, although he would manage a few more effective roles before expiring. Mysterious guest star Porter Hall (as Max Botulian) picks up some of the slack. Generally, the story is an improvement over the previous episode, with capable direction by James Hogan and editing by Edward Dmytryk. Howard and the regulars are joined by Elizabeth Patterson (as Aunt Blanche), a fine addition.<br/><br/>***** Bulldog Drummond's Peril (1938-03-17) James Hogan ~ John Howard, John Barrymore, Porter Hall, E.E.
