I see 110 thousand views. I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only one who loves old,old movies. Because no one that I know personally will watch them with me. Love, love, love them. Thank you 🦋
I met Barrymore many years ago he was elderly then, I was delivering goods to hiss sons office London and he was there I recognised him at once and his face lite up when I told him I was fan he said " not my best work but it paid the bills but praise is praise"
These old movies kill me . Where ever there's electricity running up between two metal rods, there's science going on 😄 This is a fun flick . Thank you for posting it .
What FUN Was only two years old when this film hit the public . Thanks for the opportunity to watch now ! The acting was so VERY........well let's say formal ! The stars EXCELLENT ! PIZZAFLIX you know how to add CORRECT amount of sauce to give it the kick it NEEDED ! ! THANKS !
20:43Professor Bernard Goodman is portrayed by Halliwell Hobbes. The first time I saw him, he played the butler Alfred Brunton in "Sherlock Holmes Faces Death" starring Basil Rathbone. (1943)
Excellent! Bravo Barrymore and supporting cast was fantastic! Loved Tenny the vallet! By the way don't they use radiation when creating certain man-made stones?
Not quite as uneven as "Alias Bulldog Drummond," aka "Bulldog Jack." That one was slower in the start, and it's not quite a Drummond film, since Drummond's injured to the point of not being able to act out any work. "Alias" is a bit dull for the first half, then it gets silly.
Such a shame what happened to Barrymore. You can really see how it’s affecting him in this movie. He aged in such a short time from alcoholism and it just destroyed his brilliant career.
@@larrycarmody8325 Errol Flynn also, but he was attacked from other adverse pleasures (including adultery with minors, or so he said. Though I also don't know if the "age of consent" was raised to 18 in more recent years, I'm sure there were plenty of Americans who weren't looking at his habits as though they're golden.)
No. 1 was with Ronald Colman as Bulldog Drummond 1932 !!! No. 2 is with John Barrymore as Bulldog Drummond 1938 !!! Is there any other movies these actors made you uploaded as Bulldog Drummond ? [ -- AND THANKS FOR UPLOADING THESE GREAT OLD MOVIES -- ]
15:19 - Sir Raymond gave himself away. "I know nothing about the murder of that detective". Drummond only said there had been a murder, he never said who had been murdered!?!
I'm not sure why they would have an American like John Howard play such a quintessentially British character. It's like an American playing James Bond (which has actually happened, with Barry Nelson as "Jimmy Bond" in the character's first appearance in any visual medium, a 1954 one-hour American live TV production of "Casino Royale"). Howard is also way too handsome. The Drummond in the books is described a big ugly lump of a man. As for the movie itself, it's good silly fun.
I don't know why Drummond doesn't tell the Scottlandyard Inspector that those guys killed that Wedding guard detective in Switzerland.? What hell is wrong with Drummond anyway.?
I thought he did, Larry? I thought Barrymore's character talked over the top of him and didn't hear at first. Or-it would have messed up the plot? Too logical.😁😆
@@amandawilcox9638 Drummond said he suspected that Blantyree was a murderer, but he didn't say who he supposedly killed. Not that Neilson would have believed him anyway.
