In the same year as Hollywood's Bulldog DrummondStrikes Back, the British released this superb satire on the then-popularDrummond films. "The genuine satire has to succeed on two levels: it has tobe subtly funny, without ridiculing its inspiration, and it also has to be a goodenough example of the genre it is kidding to stand up to the particular demandsof that sort of film. (In Bulldog Jack) the villainy was in the experienced handsof Ralph Richardson (a wonderfully satiric portrait, yet one fraught with realmenace too), a top-heavy opposition to the zaniness of Jack Hulbert, who replacesthe real Bulldog Drummond in a case involving kidnapping and the looting of theBritish Museum°.The action scenes carry real thrill too°.With Fay Wray playingthe lady in distress with all the earnestness she displayed when being chased byLionel Atwill or King Kong, the film is a little gem."-William K. Everson,The Detective in Film
