Wissenswertes
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.

Patzer
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.

Zitate
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.

Alternative Versionen
When first released in France, the film was presented in a talkie version in English with French subtitles and in a silent version.

Colman Talks!

So far, all the Ronald Coleman movies I've seen have been

silents. Therefore, I was glad to get a hold on his talkie debut,

Bulldog Drummond. As a film, it is very good. It's pretty exciting,

full of good acting from Coleman, Lilyan Tashman, Claud Allister,

Montague Love and a few others. I found Joan Bennet's work to be

pretty poor and forced. Not quite the same as that role in Woman

in the Window. Still, not bad for a first sound picture.

Since it's an early talkie, the slow-moving moments are excusable.

And there are really very few if you think about it. Plus the dialogue

was hillarious. Props to whoever came up with the role of Algy.

Deffinatly my favorite character. It's not a film everybody will enjoy,

but if you so desire it, this is a better example of a 1929 talkie.

7/10.
