The film has no relation to the Bulldog Drummond character as created by the pseudonymous 'Sapper' but instead it is another sub-par James Bond-ish effort. I found most of it rather dull with our hero not being a secret agent but an insurance investigator. Most glamourous! Richard Johnson is a good actor and is wasted in this and saddling Drummond with an irritating American nephew was a poor decision. No Algy, no Denny and no Phyllis alas.
What kept me watching was Nigel Green as the suave and incisive Carl Petersen and the beauteous Elke Sommer and Sylva Koscina as the assassins Irma and Penelope, either squabbling over lipstick or offing someone while being dryly witty at the same time. Shame they exploded at the finale.
