The intended wedding of Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond to Phyllis Clavering at her villa in Switzerland is stopped short (once again) when someone murders the Swiss policeman who is guarding their wedding presents. The killer makes off with their prize possession, a synthetic diamond, made by a secret process by Professor Bernard Goodman , the father of their good friend Gwen Longworth. A guest, Sir Raymond Blantyre, head of the Metropolitan Diamond Syndicate, disappears at the same time, and Drummond suspects that Sir Raymond, who has the most to lose if Professor Goodman proceeds with his plans to publish his secret process, has something to do with the theft. He leaves Phyllis and chases back to England. Colonel Nielsen, of Scotland Yard, as usual scoffs at Drummond's suspicions and insists that a man as respected as Sir Raymond could not possibly be involved in such a crime. But, as usual, he has Drummond followed just in the event he turns up something unexpected. An explosion that wrecks Goodman's house, and apparently kills him, makes Drummond more positive that the diamond king has again resorted to murder to protect his business. He follows Professor Botulian, a life-long rival of Goodman's, whom he believes to be involved in the affair. His hunt leads him to a lonely house on the outskirts of London where he finds Goodman a prisoner. Before they can escape, Drummond and Goodman are joined by Tenny (E. E. Clive), his valet, and Phyllis, who are also (as usual) being held by the crooks. Faced by Blantyne and his armed confederates, Drummond begins to fight his way out, but is met by superior forces

They soon come to regret their decision. The man quickly runs out of money, and he has a violent temper besides. Worse still, he seems to be some kind of chemist and has filled his room with messy chemicals, test tubes, beakers and the like. When they try to throw him out, they make a ghastly discovery. Meanwhile, Flora Cranley appeals to her father to do something about the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Griffin, his assistant and her sweetheart. Her father's other assistant, the cowardly Dr. Kemp, is no help. He wants her for himself. Little does Flora guess that the wild tales, from newspapers and radio broadcasts, of an invisible homicidal maniac are stories of Dr. Griffin himself, who has discovered the secret of invisibility and gone mad in the process.

A delirious comedy from 1939, IRISH LUCK follows bellhop Buzzy O'Brien (Frank Darro) as he attempts a little detective work in order to free the name of his number one crush, Kitty Monahan (Sheila D'Arcy). In order to deflect attention away from Kitty as she becomes the prime suspect in a bond theft, Buzzy secretes her at his mothers house--with comical results as his hard-bitten Irish mother and Kitty find it hard to get along. A crime caper in the true tradition of the genre, IRISH LUCK is a real hoot.

[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 04:26:00 03/09/09
All of Judea is groaning under Emperor Tiberius and the outrageous taxes that the merciless Roman tetrarch Herod and governor Pontius Pilate are subjecting them to. In a small village near Jerusalem, the fanatic Zealots study their scrolls and predict the coming of a King from the lineage of David, who will save the Jewish nation from the yoke of Roman oppression. However, when news comes from afar that Jesus, the son of a Nazarene carpenter, is being proclaimed the awaited Messiah, the Zealots ridicule the notion. "Can any good come out of Nazareth?" asks head scribe Lamech . The Zealots want a fighting leader, and none more so than young and headstrong Joel who also happens to love the beautiful Tamar and hopes to marry her. His father Lamech, however, has other plans and arranges a marriage between Tamar and Joel’s brother Zadok . When the Roman centurion Longinus arrives in the village on the eve of the holy Sabbath to collect the tax, a few of the poorer one attempt to escape and are captured. A disillusioned Joel decides to go to seek the man Jesus and find out for himself if Israel has now got a king. Following her heart, Tamar wants to follow him - but Joel is thinking of greater issues than his own happiness now. He seeks the freedom of his nation. When he finds Jesus, however, he encounters a man preaching a message of peace that is incompatible with the philosophy of violence. Nevertheless, he finds himself drawn to and convinced by this miracle-working Jesus. With a totally new perspective and what constitutes freedom and victory, Joel returns to his village - in time for the wedding feast of Tamar with his brother. Here is the test of his new-found faith in the greatest commandment as taught by Jesus- "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and all thy mind, and love thy neighbor as thyself....". Especially when his brother Zadok is killed by Longinus.EDITORIAL REVIEW: Israel is in uproar over the additional taxes that the Roman Emperor is afflicting the Jews with - none more so that the Zealots, expounders of the Holy Torah. They long for a king to rescue the nation from oppression, and at first the headstrong Joel is convinced that he has found him in Jesus, who is being proclaimed Messiah (Savior). At the cost of his own happiness with beautiful Tamar, he ventures forth to meet this holy man - but he encounters a Messiah of peace instead of war. Along with a dissenting disciple called Judas, Joel still believes that the Zealots can crown Jesus of Nazareth a conquering King. In this historical epic based on true Biblical incidents and characters, the viewer is confronted afresh with the seeming contradiction of the Prince of Peace. As the tale unfolds, almost all inner conflicts that we face in our search for real truth are tactfully - and sometimes brutally exposed. What is of greater value - spiritless theological dogma or the Kingdom of God? These and more questions are raised and answered in this timeless masterpiece by director Irving Pichel that will leave a lasting impression... and possibly a re-examination of all that we hold is true. Cast: John Beal ... Joel Maurice Moscovitch ... Lamech (as Maurice Moscovich) Albert Dekker ... Longinus Marjorie Cooley ... Tamar Lloyd Corrigan ... Jemuel Warren McCollum ... Zadok Ian Wolfe ... Tax collector Olaf Hytten ... Nathan Anthony Marlowe ... Singer Lester Sharpe ... First Zealot (as Lester Scharff) Marc Loebell ... Judas (as Marc Lobell) Harold Minjir ... Andrew Earl Gunn ... Wounded Man Albert Spehr ... Second Zealot George Rosener ... Merchant
