Bulldog Drummond at Bay (1937)

This spy adventure flick set in Scotland and England boasts a few social commentary scenes, like when the two antagonists laugh maniacally after discussing that their Peace Movement is only a cover for their global arms dealings. Overall, the plot rambles while the hero bumbles in his attempts to stop the evil arms dealers. The violence and the incessant smoking dismayed me too much to enjoy the comic touches and the surprise ending. Fav line: "I'm gonna learn to dislike you." Fun trivia: tall, handsome actor John [Davis] Lodge, who plays Drummond, later in life was a US ambassador three separate times!
