The cinematography, art direction and audio quality surpasses anything I've seen from 1929-30. Samuel Goldwyn wanted high-caliber work and he sure got it.<br /><br />As for Ronald Colman, his 'talkie' debut is topnotch. He is completely natural, with none of the stagy mannerisms or over-cooked emoting of his contemporaries. Colman's performance could appear in a current-day film and seem just as modern as it was in 1929. In addition, his mellifluously expressive voice records beautifully and fully evidences why it became an iconic part of film history. The role of Bulldog Drummond isn't much but Colman has fun with it and displays a charming flair and an insouciant wit that's quite entertaining. After all the heaving and sighing of such melodramatic antiquities as George Arliss, Colman is a delightfully fresh presence and an absolute charmer in his first sound film.Frank/click5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03605293626729520817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-64289150856891545492014-07-11T12:59:18.667-07:002014-07-11T12:59:18.667-07:00I also say I'm interested & in the end nev...I also say I'm interested & in the end never get there. ;) I'll let u know if... thanks.<br /><br />I saw Thin Man about 10 years ago.
