Pencil mustaches intrigue me. I always wondered how difficult it was to maintain one. My favorite pencil mustache is William Powell's and I see he's mentioned in this thread multiple times, so here are a couple of pics my other favorites:

Secret crush, David Niven

Zachary Scott (who didn't love to hate him in Mildred Pierce?)

My very favorite pre-code baddie, Warren William

^^^ Hadley, another Warren William fan? I'm excited to hear that! Love the pic you posted. Among my WW photo collection, I have an original Gold Diggers of 1933 publicity pic of him with Ginger Rogers that I've framed and keep in my office. In case you haven't stumbled on this excellent tribute site to him: http://warren-william.com/

A question: Can anyone trace when the pencil mustache trend first began in America? Like, who were some of the first stars to wear them (pre Gable), and in what films? And for those who can remember, were they still in popularity into the early (pre-Hippie) 60s?
