Once, years ago, I posted a picture of Paul Newman here, and said, "After young Brando, he was the most beautiful man who ever lived." Someone responded that Brando's beauty only lasted a few years, whereas Newman was a handsome man his entire life and therefore, won out over Brando. I agreed. So, because he lived and died and truly handsome man--Paul Newman.

I'm going to what OP requested - hottest , most handsome, studliest. Many of those posted are a little too 'pretty'. Pretty ,to me , never means 'studly'. They are separate. My votes go to ( already mentioned) Rory Calhoun - if you've ever seen his prison mug shot (before he was famous), with his jet black hair, and piercing blue eyes, it screams rough trade. RT = stud, for me . My other pick has a whole thread here already - Steve Cochran 'was the 50's sexiest bad guy'. Must admit the 11" trouser snake he was known for , affected my choice . Just a fact that men with that much dick, have a sexy swagger. + he always played 'the stud' in films . He does it for me.

Tyrone Power had to be photographed carfully. From certain angles he was genuinely breathtaking, and from others he was nothing special. He was fortunate to come along at a time when cinematography was all about making a lead actor look gorgeous in B&W. If he'd appeared when directors were more interested in cinemascope vistas or CGI marvels, he wouldn't have had much of a career.

Errol Flynn about the time of Robin Hood in 1938 has to be near the top of any list. Pity he went to seed so quickly.
Newman wins just because he kept his looks for decades. Not only did he keep them, the amazing thing about Newman is that whatever movie you're watching, you're convinced that you're seeing him at the peak of his beauty and sexuality.

I have to take issue with the implication that Tyrone Power wasn't incredibly handsome in color. I thought he looked better in color! Blood & Sand, Black Swan, Captain from Castile, Black Rose. I saw King of the Khyber Rifles at the Egyptian in L.A., big screen. He was almost 40 and he had the most perfect skin and he looked amazing. And that's in color. Later I heard Terry Moore at a talk and she said when she first got on the set, she looked at him and couldn't remember her lines.

[R86] Power was really bi. He loved both men and women and believed love knows no gender. He got an extra pregnant while filming Jesse James, right before he was married to his first wife. He tried to reconcile with the first wife in the '50s and wrote her some very emotional letters, apparently, so gut-wrenching that his stepdaughter didn't want anyone to see them and destroyed them. Her mother had kept them.
His second wife Linda Christian wrote a good book, "Linda," that can be found occasionally. So did his girlfriend Mai Zetterling, who goes into a lot of detail about their affair.

R41, Charles Farrell is hardly forgotten today; as noted in that oddly colored photograph elsewhere on the thread, when he grew up, he played the father on "My Little Margie." His occasionally begged off social engagements because there was a wonderful old Charlie Farrell movie on TV.
Grotesquely enough, back in the early forties, Mickey Rooney was a very hot little number. Tiny number. A fraction. But still hot.
I can't join the Dennis Quaid contingent, because he shares a gene pool with Randy, the mere thought of whom is bone-chilling.

When OP asks for Classic H'wood even though he mentions no dates, I'm imagining the cut off to be 1950. So a lot of the ones we are talking about wouldn't be candidates. The guys who made it big before 1950 are Classic H'wood leading men. After 1950, it seems like a whole new type of leading man was introduced. A type that was oertly sexy, beefy, raw, more seductive. The 50's seemed to mark a transition insofar as our standards of beauty.
It's almost as if the John Garfiled types were pre-cursors of the future.

The studio system died in 1948 when the government made all the studios give up ownership of movie theater chains.

Has to be monty. dark hair, blue eyes. slim and toned thanks to intestine problems.
Before his accident he was really untouchable in the beauty department. All you really have to do is watch the close up shots in A Place In The Sun to see the perfection.

I think the guys from the 30's and 40's are scrawny. You look at Cary Grant. Even he is scrawny. I like my men with some definition. So yeah, I can see Grant, Tyrone Power or Errol Flynn, even Montgomery Clift.
Where do guys like Burt Lancaster or Kirk Douglas fit in? Are they 50's along with Brando and Rock Hudson? Burt Lancaster had a nice body. I always thought he was sort of gay. He certainly loved to strut around.

1950 is the cutoff for "Classic Hollywood"? To me, "Classic Hollywood" starts with "Dr. Strangelove" and ends with "Network" and "Taxi Driver". Before that it seems they made a lot of Bible movies.
That also leaves out all the best looking and best built men. Whatever else you say about him, Henry Willson definitely improved the hot factor of Hollywood men.

Power never did much for me. I picked up Lana Turner's autobiography for a quarter at the public library book sale recently. She was married 7 times to other men but says the true love of her life was Tyrone, so he must have been quite something.
Cary Grant was simply beautiful. And I agree--John Garfield had a rough sexiness that was very hot.

I do think Paul Newman was impossibly handsome with that Romanesque profile and those eyes. One of my all-time favorites.
I also think Lex Barker had an amazing face & body and took hundreds of stunning portraits which can be seen on eBay.
Others I rank very high include Alain Delon, Tab Hunter, John Gavin and Errol Flynn (in his prime.) It's great, too, to see some love for that living god Steve Reeves!
But, for me, no one can really beat the 6'5" hunk with the chest-o-death and ice blue eyes, Clint Walker. Oddly enough, considering how devastating his looks are, one of my favorite things about him is his warm, baritone speaking voice!

There's a big difference between "hottest", "most handsome" and "studliest" because those terms are not always mutually inclusive.
For instance in terms of sheer perfection of facial features I would have to cite a young Robert Taylor or Tyrone Power.
For hottest as in sexy I might say Robert Mitchum.
For studliest as in manly swagger one could argue Humphrey Bogart or Lee Marvin might fit the description.

No one comes close and if anyone thinks so, it's delusional and ridiculous and the most dumb and the most lamest and the nbiggest crime ever committed by the hmanity. No fuckig way any other human being neither man nor woman is more beautiful than this human perfection. No machine can make a doll as perfect as this. He is an angel. He is divine and beyond words.
From Newman to Efron and from Tyron to Stallone , no one can ever match this delicate as well as rugged masculinity.
Brando personifies male Jolene sung and written beautifully by Dolly Parton. He exudes power, charm, vulnerability , strength, sexiness and arrogance all at the same time. There is no other male or female who can hold a candle to this man here. They say once in a lifetime we come across a human being who is God like but for me and every one of us, Brando isn't just for this life time but for the entire time of earth. He is the most beautiful creature that was ever created.God was on permanent vacation when he created this immaculate personality and no wonder, he couldn't create such again. We may cry,laugh,smile,fight or scream but one more Brando won't be born again. Rather he lives. He lives in our heart, our dreams, our memories.
Days aren't far away where his temples will be built and people celebrate his birthdays. Brando will live on forever and ever and ever and ever.

Didn't classic Hollywood last into the '60s? Granted, the Supreme Court ruling regarding anti-trust laws was in 1948, but that was just the beginning of the end. The advent of television and independent producers in the '50s further weakened the studio system, but it still took some time for it to come crumbling down. The Hays Code wasn't officially abolished until 1968 though there had been cracks in recent years.
