Deadlier Than The Male

In this 1967 drama, resourceful British agent Bulldog Drummond, who appeared onscreen in a series of spy stories between 1929 from 1951, returned to duty in the wake of James Bond. Here, Drummond is on the trail of Carl Petersen, a corrupt industrailist who has a bad habit of stealing the ideas of others and then killing them so he can reap the profits. The nefarious Petersen has a team of female assistants willing to kill on command, led by Irma and Penelope. One more Bulldog Drummond vehicle, Some Girls Do, followed in 1969 before the series was retired again. —AllRovi
