In 1967, the Rank Organisation saw fit to revive the pre-war character Bulldog Drummond, updated to Hugh Drummond in this glossy but empty thriller. The first half, despite several murders and some torture scenes, I frankly found boring, although it does improve in the second half when we get to the villain's lair. This is frustrating, because it does have all the ingredients for a good thriller, it's just that they never come together properly. The film just trundles through it's paces without flair or imagination.
Really should have been much better.
