Arrest Bulldog Drummond

This is one of 8 Bulldog Drummond adventures produced by Paramount in the late 1930s and sold to Congress Films (II) in mid-1954 for re-release. Congress redesigned the opening and closing credits, in order to eliminate all evidence of Paramount's ownership, going so far as to even alter the copyright claimant statements on the title cards; Congress, in turn, sold the films to Governor Films for television syndication. Along the way, Paramount, having disowned the films, never bothered to renew the copyrights, and they fell into public domain, with the result that inferior VHS and DVD copies have been in distribution for many years, from a variety of sub-distributors who specialize in public domain material.

When John Howard surprised George Zucco at the climax Zucco shouts "John" instead of the name of Howard's character,Hugh Drummond.

Opening credits are shown over a silhouette of city rooftops, a reference to the crime story we are about to see.
