Bulldog Drummond

Drummond was a fictional character created by H. C. "Sapper" McNeile. He was a World War I veteran who craved adventure and thus got into all sorts of tight spots in his quest not to be bored. My wife and I have a complete collection of the series of movies that were made using Drummond as the main character, most of them starring John Howard. First, however, there was a series of novels. They are slightly less mysteries and slightly more adventure stories than some of the others of the same genre. Good reading, though, and good watching, although the movies were not on the Academy Award list.
