Unfortunately, Powell is not well known by the general public nor held in esteem by "critics". I rarely hear them cite his name when it comes to classic comedy or style.scotrace said:I hope it's a good one. Do you gentlemen think it's just strange that there aren't more? You could build a small ranch house out of Hepburn, Taylor, Bogart, Gable, Brando books...
And we all know Powell is TOPS!

What we need is an event like an auction or film retrospective to put him in the spotlight. William Powell needs to be placed in the Pantheon of great actors from the old days. A men's magazine needs to feature Powell and kickstart the pencil thin moustache look.

Someone should ask John Waters exactly who influenced his dapper look.Nathan Dodge said:I agree completely with this sentiment, only in today's super-cynical society, a gent sporting a pencil-thin moustache is more likely to be mistaken for John Waters. Sad but true.
