| George Brent -- doesn't need a moustache to look great! |
 |
| Love this one -- somebody managed to make handsome, distinguished Basil Rathbone look terrible with no moustache and a bad toupee in "Tower of London" ... Plus, we get a bonus pic of Boris without hair! |
 |
| Errol Flynn in "The Prince and the Pauper" ... well, really, does he ever look less than gorgeous? |
 |
| John Barrymore, the Great Profile doesn't need his moustache to look great! |
 |
| William Powell in "Love Crazy" ... much better with a moustache ... However, it would be a definite handicap here! |
 |
| Clark Gable in "Night Nurse" ... still imposing without the lip brush ... boy, Barbara Stanwyck isn't afraid of anybody! |
 |
| Vincent Price in "The Mad Magician" ... he may be crazy, but he is just as distinguished and handsome ... |
 |
| Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. ... what a cutie, with or without! |
I tried and failed to find a picture of David Niven without a moustache, even in his very young years ... I think he must have been born with it!
ADDENDUM: OOPS! FlickChick reminded me of David Niven in Wuthering Heights, sans moustache! So here he is, looking a little stunned (maybe he just got it waxed off), but just as handsome as ever!
Hi Becky - David Niven was sans stache in "Wuthering Heights" - so lots of pics from that film. I agree most handsome men look good with or without, but the lip hair really pushed Gable to the top of the heap. As for William Powell - I think he waxed for that one!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteI knew you would include your boyfriend Errol! lol
Cute post and I'll be sure to check out Dawn's and Gilby's.
I looked through all of my photos of David Niven and I do believe you're right. I'll have to look through the books I have of his and see at just what age he started growing facial hair. I'll report back if he was still in short pants.

Flickchick, I forgot all about Niven in Wuthering Heights. I have corrected my mistake, with full credit to you!
ReplyDeletePage, Errol would HAVE to be in there. And Niven did appear without the brush, as you see above -- looks beautiful too!
Becky - you can almost hear him say - where is my mustache?

You have a few days left to add your cute post. You will find the info. you need on N and CF's sidebar.
Your post reminds me of my own Pencil Thin Moustache post of a while back. I love all the above mentioned stars - but really, they gotta' have the 'stache.
ReplyDeleteDon't like them with bald lips. Ha!
I like the idea of a Blogathon for a worthy cause. Good job.
Thanks Yvette. Someone near and dear to me is battling prostate cancer, and this blogathon means a lot to me. So you don't like the "bald lips", huh? LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you included Vincent Price.. ;")
