Hot Guys In Old Movies: John Bromfield

I looked at his photo - MEH

He was handsome

This guy~

I watch "It's a Wonderful Life" just to see Harry walk in the door. I think I'd like James Stewart too: (in awe) Harry!

Peter Browne changed his name to Peter Glenville. He left the screen in the 40s for theatre direction which allowed him to return as a screen director (and he made some absolute clunkers in the 60s)

Here's John with Tab Hunter. Tab's drool was photoshopped out.

Tab just can't stay away

Hot daddy.

Peter Glenville was gay, too

Bromfield reminds me of another B-actor who was prime beef: Steve Cochran.

Bromfield reminds me more of George Nader (who I consider as a B-actor).

George Nader was so hot

Another pretty man from the 40s was the Irish Shaun Noble.

He appeared briefly in Deborah Kerr's delirium scene in 'Black Narcissus' representing all the sensual pleasure forbidden to her by her vows to Jesus.

I've seen him in other roles but his impossible prettiness made the characters he was playing as non-credible.

Shaun Noble was really handsome. His career didn't amount to much, though

^. He was like Warren Beatty in the 1960s. He was too pretty to play a normal human being.

Eva Marie Saint said to Beatty in 'All Fall Down' in 1962: 'You're too pretty to be a garage attendant, you should be in movies'.

Alfred Lynch was a cutie and he was gay, too (also a very talented actor)

[quote] Alfred Lynch … was gay

Did you get to know him, R16?

I remember he got top billing over Sean Connery in a very broad comedy called 'On the Fiddle' in 1961 but the last film I saw him in was that Sidney Lumet "Seagull in 1968.

John Ericson

^ How very provocative. He exposes his navel!

John Bromfield looks like a gay Fred MacMurray.

John Ericson was hot as hell. He died earlier this year.

As far as hot guys from old movies..... How about a young John Payne from his 20th Century Fox days in the late 1930's/early 40's?

or John Payne's fellow Fox contract player/star from the same period....the romantic swashbuckler Tyrone Power.

Tyrone was gorgeous but he had dodgy dental work in the 30s.

He had soft Gutta-percha to fill gaps in his teeth and you can see it's inconsistent in various scenes.

A couple of days ago, the Irish actor Shaun Noble was mentioned on this thread. His Wikipedia page notes that he was born in 1921 in Dun Loaghaire and died in London in 1999. He apparently appeared in only a small handful of films from 1945-1949 and twice on British t.v. 1953 & 1955. I wonder what happened to him? Did he make an early retirement from acting and pursued another field? I think, based upon this photo, that he is one of the most strikingly handsome men I have ever seen from that era.

Burt Lancaster in From Here to Eternity. One of the hottest a man has ever looked on film!

David Peel!

RobertMitchumRobertMitchumROBERT!MITCHUM ! !

My Robert with his BORING ASS WIFE.

Fucking [italic]cunt.

Henry Wilcoxon

[quote] ASS WIFE

She had her uses.

There is something about an old school John.

Wilcoxon's legs were gorgeous when he was younger. His thing was to pick up young military guys and fuck then crazy.

What's this about Wilcoxon picking up military guys?!

Will Cocks would pick them up and sling them over his shoulder and then take them home and ravish them.

The sailor in this scene from "She Done Him Wrong" is so modern-day handsome but he's only there for six seconds. He's in another scene, but he doesn't speak so I've never been able to figure out who he was. Too early to be an employee at Scotty Bowers' filling station. Maybe he caught Cary Grant's eye.

Sorry, put the start time in the URL but it didn't take. Go to 2:15-2:21.

Famous pictorial. The same issue had a young Sal Mineo pumping iron and helping his sister with homework. How many can you name?

Here it is!

A woman once told me she thought Mitchum was ugly.

But she was no oil painting herself.

R39, interesting when Rock Hudson (!) is the least attractive of the group.

r39, I wonder what happened AFTER that shot was taken....

Poor Rock. How much is one guy supposed to take?

They managed to keep it fairly wholesome.

Rex Reason from “This Island Earth”, here in a sequel to the “Creature From The Black Lagoon” film. He’s the one in the white trunks, can you say “moose knuckle”?

Buster Crabbe. He's modern day gorgeous. Look at those lips.

[quote]Buster Crabbe. He's modern day gorgeous. Look at those lips.

Here is a scene from his "Search For Beauty".

Ravishing Ramon

Joan Collins' first husband was a weird one.

He looked hot if he was groomed and photographed well. But if he stood up and tried to act he was terrible. In some films he looked ridiculously tall and skinny and in others he looked like an unwashed spiv.

For today, I give you guys Keith Andes

^ American men weren't allow to display their navel. This man (Ronald Lewis in 'Taste of Fear' in 1961) does.

Roman Navarro was asked to sing far too much.

r52, Ronald Lewis was an attractive man and a good actor. He committed suicide :-(

And he could sing like a dream, r51!

Oh c'mon, r22...you know the correct photo to post.

How can a man who looks like this be named Buster Crabbe?

Buster Crabbe, who grew up in Hawaii and swam for the University of Southern California, competed at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, winning a bronze medal in the 1,500-metre freestyle and finishing in fourth place in the 400-metre freestyle. At the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, Crabbe faced world record holder Jean Taris of France and Olympic record holder Takashi Yokoyama of Japan in the 400-metre freestyle finals. Taris led most of the race, but Crabbe pulled even with 25 m to go and reached the wall one-tenth of a second ahead of Taris to set an Olympic record (4 min 48.4 sec) and win the gold medal. Hollywood movie producers, aware of the acting success enjoyed by Johnny Weissmuller after his Olympic swimming gold, signed Crabbe to an acting contract. He starred in more than 170 movies, including the title roles in the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials. He also appeared on television, authored fitness books, and owned a successful swimming pool company. Crabbe set 16 world records and was named to the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

Photo circa 1928. 6d

Dewey Martin was 5'8" of hot twunk ass back in the 1950s.

The hairstyles back then were something else.

How long do you suppose Dewey’s hair was if he’d just worn it ‘relaxed’?

R49 is he near a cookie factory in that photo?

Buster Crabbe was hot

I never thought much of Mitchum, but after Night of The Hunter, I was hooked(even though his character was a psycho) on his sexiness.

Charles Korvin

R62 I never thought Mitchum was good looking, but he did have a smoldering sexiness about him. You know he could throw a mean fuck.

R63 You could drive a truck through that crevice in his chin.

Nobody - NOBODY was sexier than Guy Madison.

Ken Clark showing denim bulge in 'South Pacific,' (dancing nearly nude in a floral costume, too); also shirtless and wet , and showing VPL in 'Attack of the Giant Leeches,' plus shirtless in a Z-grade spy thriller, and he posed nude!

R58 Dewey Martin was in a western with Kirk Douglas called "The Big Sky," and the homoeroticism in their characters' relationship was anything but subtle.

That movie's been mentioned in a lot of books about gay characters in movies.

R67 The personification of BDF.

TCM just showed "The Rise And Fall Of Legs Diamond" (1960), which I don't consider an "old" movie, but its star definitely counts as a "hot guy": Ray Danton!

R70 Dayum! He's fine.

R68 Dewey and Kirk looking lovingly at each other in The Big Sky:

I don't think so, R72

The creature on the left is an egomaniac who thinks he's the sexiest creature on earth. He's lying down bringing his genitals up closer to one of his foolish admirers.

The egomaniac loves nothing but himself.

R73 Thanks for weighing in, Ms. Wood.
