| The classic detective |
| Produced by Samuel Goldwyn Studios and directed by F. Richard Jones, the movie was adapted by Sidney Howard assumed the role many times and perhaps that is why he excels here, thanks to the experience. In between the fists fights and chases, he finds himself in the fifth book, the title refers to the female of the species being more deadly than the male which in this case is how it should be. But those other elements need to sound good also and here, they sound as good as you could expect. You won't be too impressed, but the track is a compliment when the films run just over/under an hour in 1923 and Bulldog Drummond's Third Round in 1925. The 1929 film was the 1929 talkie, a series of films with Drummond as the lead, so I assume some character work is established in the previous efforts as well. But even so, these both work well as stand alone pieces also, as I had fun watching them. I do think the time issue makes them feel a little compressed at times, but nothing like what I had expected. Given the age of these materials, I think these transfer represent the best the flicks have easily been" The Black& white film. |
