I have never seen this this film. What fun. Great casting and a script with some tongue in cheek elements. The gents are top notch and the two female assassins are drop dead gorgeous. Nice to see Justine Lord a few seems. The 1960s were a very special time and I remember that decade with affection. Thank you for sharing this gem.

I love these types of movies, lots of action, tongue and cheek humor, and of course, the young lovelies. Thank you for sharing.

From the first few minutes I thought she would introduce herself as : "Blond, Jane Blond"😂😂😂😂😂 Excellent movie though, done in the days when an actor had to actually use his acting talent and not rely on special effects!! And most importantly, not rely on four letter words, or blasphemy in EVERY SENTENCE!! Loved it, thanks guys!!❤❤

Thank you for posting this movie! The dialog, fashion, beautiful women, classy men and to top it off the Walker brothers singing the title song,it doesn't get any better! Recognized many actors from other British films of the Era. This film was a wonderful treat! Many thanks again for posting this! Cheers!

The gals in this movie were absolutely STUNNING! Extremely well done Hide! Thank you for the gem!

Wow! Now, that's what I call the real thing! What a very good movie, indeed! It put me in mind of the Avengers at their very best, with John Steed and Tara King! Thank you ever so much, to you who kindly uploaded it for us all to watch and enjoy!🤩🤩🤩

Elke Sommer. Elke Sommer. No ED problems when Elke was around. Nearing my eighth decade now and this movie makes me sorrowful I'm not 16 years old. Elke Sommer was a fabulous feminine beauty. A shame she never showed up where ever I was, despite all the yearnagrams I sent her. Of course, neither did Deborah Kerr nor Debbie Reynolds. Woe to a young teenage boy in a small Oklahoma town.

Ditto! It often seems to me, there was something truly unique and beautiful about the women starlets of the later 1950’s through about 1967 or so. The clothes were stylish, and the cars were just cool. And, without special effects like today, you had to have a true effective story line and some strong actors or the movie was a flop-- but you might salvage it with the right starlet….. lol so in some ways, maybe there are a few things that remain the same. - pretty good movie!

I had a German language teacher back in the 70’s that was a twin look alike to Elke Sommer, who wore mini-skirts all the time. Somehow I had a hard time holding concentration let alone learning the language))

A favorite of mine since childhood, from afternoon television. I immediately fell for the glamorous assassin ladies - have loved them for decades.

Yes. And why such an elaborate murder--gun inside a cigar--when you are going to blow up the plane anyway?

Totally fun flick! So 60s. It's supposed to be a Bulldog Drummond film, yet it's much closer to James Bond stylistically-but that's OK. I liked this better than the Bond films-it wasn't as overblown as the Bond films, yet it still had plenty of humor, beautiful girls, gorgeous scenery, inventive murders and fight scenes, snazzy cars, and, of course, gadgets. Elke was simply gorgeous, and so was Sylva. Richard Johnson was director Terence Young's original preference to play Bond and you can see why in this film. Thanks for posting this!

Saw this when I was Twelve,the women,especially Elke Sommers were amazing.

💯 loved this movie.Beautiful,classy women and charming men.Lots of action and panoramic views.A subtle touch and sophistication to everything that makes a good recipe for a bond movie without announcing the famous line...the name is Bond...James Bond.Great entertainment. Thanks for screening.❤

This movie is in my top 20 favorite films of all time. I remember seeing it when I was little, and would catch it from time to time on television. I finally managed to get a copy on dvd.

This was my era. Bliss! Bliss! Have been reading Betty Box`s autobiography. She talks about a stay at the Mandarin in Hong Kong and the then manager who had worked before at some of the smart London hotels. Well, I know that manager. If he`s still around I wish he`d look in and say hi! Someone whom I met in Taiwan I think (v-p of South African Airlines) told me to look up his friend and that he`d arrange a short stay. And he did. The Mandarin Hong Kong in the Sixties, early Seventies, was the third finest hotel in the world. I still savor the night or two I spent there: finest linen sheets, heavenly mattress, superb pillows. I never wanted to leave that bed. Breakfast on the dais surrounded by the finest jade. I was the only woman and the youngest person in the room. I loved seeing them bring out different breakfasts for each guest and there was such a variety: American, British, Nordic, Swiss, Dutch, Italian, French...The service was unbelievable! But the whole thing was just so Sixties. Everyone looked wonderful, including myself. Always well tailored clothing not like today. Handbag. Heels. Maybe not gloves and a hat but gloves and a hat attitude. Drinking yes. Sex yes. Smoking no. Great, great memories. People unlike today did not get off on war and supremacy and confrontation. Their minds were on other things. More fun. Great fun!! Probably the aftermath of the greatest barbarism the world has known (`the Holocaust`) but the breather took our minds off things and gave us hope that it would all turn out alright. In retrospect, perhaps we should not have partaken of the lotus and confronted the evils before they dug their heels in and started it all up again.

VERY COMPETENT knock off! High production values, excellent special effects, decent enough acting, ample location sites, engaging script, Bondesq action scenes, explosions and the best (pardon my gender inappropriateness) legs in any Bond or otherwise spy film. Satisfying entertaining and fun!

Richard Johnson was offered the James Bond role but turned it down, so they offered the role to Sean Connery and the rest is history. This film shows that Richard Johnson would have been a great 007.

I read a different account. The 3 finalists were Roger Moore, Patrick McGoohan and Connery. Moore had the looks and physicality but not the acting chops.McGoohan had the acting talent, but was physically nondescript and while he was nice looking he certainly wasn't matinee idol material. Connery of course was the complete package although Ian Fleming detested his casting referring to him as "that truck driver ". Anyway I believe Connery was much more virile than Richard Johnson IMHO.

Patrick McGoohan didn’t agree with jumping in bed with different women so turned the role down, I think Roger Moore was staring in The Saint around the same time of the first movie.

First of all, Thanks so much for posting. Hadn't seen this in decades. Best lines in the film? Drummonds recommending a good dentist in London. And Drummond telling Irma not to forget her pants. Lastly, from the neck down goes to Elke, one of THE great bodies, which she would show off in the coming decade. ( those eyelashes though!) And Sylva Koscina? A face to die for. Certainly one of the great pairings of pulchritude in moviedom.

That boss was a bit dim wasn't he? The cigar Elke Sommer extracts from her garter at 1:11 is about an inch and a half longer than his cigar box... 😂

For those who didnt know History about Richard Johnson..He was suppose to do 007 Dr No in the James Bond Movie's Franchise..but he didnt accept it and the Famous Role went to Sean Connery..The rest is History

To be in a cinema and hear Scott Walker's voice filling the room fantastic. Sadly it was the best thing about the film.

`Corona, Corona` (cigars) `Not very good for your health` LOL!!!

Aside from as many achievements in the motion picture industry both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, he also had excellent taste and wives. He was briefly married in the mid-1960s to the actress Kim Novak. In later years Novak had only warm and positive things to say about him.

A gem Thank you 🙏

Thanks for posting. Meaning to find this for years. Caught the last 10 minutes on TV once and always wanted to see it all.

Easily the best of the '60s Bond spinoffs. Unlike the Flint and Helm films, this is the only one that comes close to the quality of the Bond films of the period and equals many a mid-range entry in the series. The main character himself, Sapper's Bulldog Drummond was an inspiration for Ian Fleming when he wrote Bond. Richard Johnson was a contender for the Bond role in "Dr. No" and many 007 veterans appear in supporting roles. The film itself was shot at Bond's home Pinewood Studios.

Thank You!!! I have been waiting for the full movie!!! I liked it when I was a kid. Now... hopefully "Kiss the Girls and Make them Die" will be uploaded in full.

I'm a huge 30's Drummond fan so I was initially hesitant, but this was way better than I expected! Like a cross between Simon Templar and James Bond with a fictional protagonist who predates either in print or film!

My favorite film.thanks.❤

Box was offered the chance to direct the Bond films. She turned it down and they bad-mouthed her for doing so. Probably because she was a woman she offered her tuppence which is why she turned it down. Betty Box has not got half the recognition that she deserves. She is a first-class producer absolutely first class. She alludes to some of the sexism but probably has left out a good deal. Being female makes here accomplishments all the more impressive.

"I had men fall for me before, but not like this!"

R.I.P., Richard Johnson (2015 June 06). Condolences to his family and friends. A classically-trained actor of exceptional intelligence, range, diversity, and subtlety (stage, screen, TV, radio). Devoted to his craft. Unusual integrity to each role. Gracious, humorous, humble. A vastly underrated, rare kind of actor, and little known in the U.S. One of Britain's best. Johnson was also founder of United British Artists, which produced some notable independent films, featuring truly knockout actors of stage and screen ("Turtle Diary," with Glenda Jackson, Ben Kingsley and Michael Gambon; "The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne," with Maggie Smith; "Castaway," with Oliver Reed; "The Biko Inquest," with Albert Finney, about South African anti-apartheid activist Steven Biko). He was also a longtime advocate for the natural environment, long before it was 'fashionable'. As with many of his generation and prior, we'll not see his like again. Johnson's final (if not fullest and finest) screen portrayal is in "Radiator". A true gem of a film, reportedly set for general theatrical release later this year (2015). For the rarity, generosity, spirit, and discipline of your artistry, Mr. Johnson, thank you. Truly.

Laurence Naismith & Nigel Green did a few productions together. They were both in some interesting productions.

A great film full of excitement even in 2021

What a stylish movie. Indeed, Elke Sommer was (is) stunningly sexy and also quite strong looking with some muscles. She playst he perfect evil character and the pairing with the suave Sylva makes you really have a good time watching those assassin acts. Difficult to beat that and the music leaves nothing to be desired. This movie does match and exceed the James Bond movies. After all, Hugh is driving a Bentley Cabriolet. I remember seing those movies in Quebec when young along with all the other European spyghettis. That is why I was dreaming to live in Europe for its beauties and style (which I do now). Imagine driving an Alfa Romeo coupe or Citroen DS.

Wonderful! Thanks

A VERY Rare exception of any previous Bulldog Drummond movie or series. Of course this was more the 007 type movie. This movie could have easily been a Ian Fleming story.

To answer Mark - were the films all made at Pinewood Studios?

Top tip: when being chased by by a car duck sideways behind a concrete pillar rather than keep running in a straight line until you get sandwiched between the dead end wall ahead and the bumper of the car that's chasing you....The tip works well in real life and could also make your film scenes a little more believable .

Always liked the title song.
