The Masseurs and a Woman

In Japanese with subtitles.  The masseurs are blind. I think this finishes up everything that Hulu has in their Criterion collection for 1938.

Bulldog Drummond's Peril

Another Bulldog Drummond movie.  This one has John Barrymore as Col. Nielsen. I thought it needed more of Drummond's valet, Tenny.  Every time Drummond remarks that one of Tenny's suggestions has merit Tenny responds "I rather liked it, sir".

Bulldog Drummond in Africa

Until now, all I knew about Bulldog Drummond was a lyric from the Coaster's song "Searchin'".  This was a fun movie. The entertainment is all in the dialog between characters. Don't worry too much about plot. The strongest relationship is between Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond and his valet, Tenny.  Anthony Quinn plays a minor tough guy.  H.B. Warner (IAWL's Mr. Gower) has a good role as a kidnapped Scotland Yard Colonel.
