Agreed, sh...<i>Heather Angel is splendid as Phyllis.</i> <br /><br />Agreed, she's my favorite Phyllis. I wonder why, after appearing in Bulldog Drummond Escapes, they replaced her with Louise Campbell for several outings? Louise's Phyllis lacked Heather's pluck and vivacity, I’m glad they brought Angel back. <br /><br /><i>Phyllis is a bit on the feisty side but not to an excessive degree. She is brave but she is (mercifully) not one of your modern kickass action heroines.</i><br /><br />So true! I cringe when I hear the phrase "strong woman" these days. A 120 lb woman beating up several 200 lb men it not inspiring to me... embarrassing, stupid, offensive, those words come to mind. It’s all part of the progressive agenda to emasculate men and ‘empower’ women... but women in real life are set up for a nasty surprise when they find out a few Taekwondo classes can’t alter biological reality. <br /><br /><i>She even faints at one point. Mind you, seeing a man being eaten by a lion can be an upsetting experience for anyone.</i><br /><br />Quite. Even if the man deserves it as richly as this one did!
