Review of Deadlier Than the Male (1956) by Matthew C — 24 Jun 2011
"I do all sorts of things when I'm tight." Classic British pulp hero, Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond gets a cheeky Bond style film adaptation. Occasionally funny, often delightfully awkward, and constantly condescendingly chauvinistic, Deadlier Than the Male is a great deal of fun.
Chock full of 'That Guy' actors, beautiful women, and deadly assassins (who also happen to be among the beautiful women). And the crazy final chess match almost feels like something out of The Avengers.
Great stuff. Unfortunately, Johnson isn't the most charming or dynamic of leads, but he's passable.
