Bulldog Drummond's Revenge, truth be told, is guilty of misleading the viewer. Although the venerable Captain Drummond does appear in the film, and once again in the person of the stolid John Howard, he avenges himself on absolutely no one. Having said that, this nifty little action-adventure from Paramount remains typical of its day: fast-paced, well-acted (especially by the always interesting John Barrymore), and deftly skirting the issue of exactly who the enemy is. Is it Japan (character names such as Nogais and Sumio Kanda certainly point in that direction) or Nazi Germany? The wily Paramount kept the identity hidden lest the studio should lose important foreign markets.
