The Lost Bridegroom a 1916 silent comedy film produced by Adolph Zukor starring John Barrymore. Appearing alongside Barrymore in this film is his first wife Katherine Corri Harris. The short story titled The Man Who Was Lost was by Willard Mack with James Kirkwood as director. The film had an alternative title His Lost Self and was rereleased by Paramount on April 17, 1919 as part of their Success Series, a celebration of some of the company's early screen triumphs. Though it obviously still existed by 1919, it is a lost silent film today.

Production
Director James Kirkwood later stated that Barrymore was off on binges during the making of this film, and spent a large amount of time downing drinks in a saloon. These delays caused the production to drag (thus costs go up), so Kirkwood went down to the saloon and 'motioned' to Barrymore to either return to work or that he would sling the actor over his shoulders and carry him back to the set to finish filming.
