John Howard is one of the many names of classic Hollywood that should receive more recognition. He is best remembered for the (rather thankless) of George Kittredge in The Philadelphia Story (1940) and as Ronald Coleman's younger brother Lost Horizon (1937). Some might also know him as the leading man in Universal's The Invisible Woman (1941). Through the 1950's, 60's and 70's he appeared in many popular TV shows, sometimes in larger roles and sometimes in smaller. However, he came to this blogger's attention playing the character Bulldog Drummond in 7 highly entertaining B-movies. If you enjoy fast paced B movies, I couldn't recommend these films enough.
