If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.

We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

What appears to be the only location in the production is Peter’s Garage at which Bulldog Drummond pulls up in his Bentley before driving away to crash on the dangerous Devil’s Elbow hill after his brakes are sabotaged.

By far the most fascinating aspect of the film is the huge Underground station set, here depicting High Holborn station from which Jack Pennington (Jack Hulbert) and Algy Longworth (Claude Hulbert) prepare to make their way along the track to the disused Bloomsbury station. Interesting articles concerning the set and its subsequent use can be viewed via the Header Section.

As Jack and Morelle fight on the track at Bloomsbury station, a train approaches at speed. A real station? No a studio set, see Header Section for interesting articles concerning the set and its subsequent use.
