review
John Barrymore has himself a high old time in Bulldog Drummond Comes Back, donning several colorful disguises, including an old seadog and a derelict Limehouse dweller, and merrily letting the audience in on the joke. Barrymore, we are told, paid little attention to his screen assignments at this late stage in his long career and mainly let the chips fall where they may. The chips this time fell on rather ancient burlesque routines and Barrymore's delight is evident. For being such a good sport, presumably, the venerable thespian earned star billing above nominal leading man John Howard, who had replaced the more substantial Ray Milland in the title role.
