[LizzieMaine]

No question...

 

[MudInYerEye]

General Douglas MacArthur.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

What! No William Powell?:eusa_doh:

 

[Matt Deckard]

If you don't have North by Northwest on DVD, buy it now. He wears Brooks Brothers suits off the rack (back when BB was BB) in that film, though I'm sure that he'd be just as suave in a pair of sneekers, jeans and a t-shirt.

What more can I say... he even looks good in a dress

 

[Terry Lennox]

What! No William Powell?:eusa_doh:

I'll second that!

 

[Matt Deckard]

No! No William Powell... Dick Powell trumps him every day of the week!

 

[Pilgrim]

No GENE KELLY?

Think about that fedora in Singing in the Rain!

Oh well, I'll vote on the available options.

 

[Lincsong]

What about the King of Hollywood?

Clark Gable?[huh] :eusa_clap

 

[Brad Bowers]

What! No William Powell?:eusa_doh:

My thoughts exactly!

Brad

 

[VintageJess]

Clark Gable?[huh] :eusa_clap

Lincsong,

Gable would have been my choice as well!

 

[scotrace]

William Powell or Clark Gable.

But if it must be one of the above, Stewart.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

What about Errol Flynn!?

But not wanting to add more confusion and too many options, I opted for James Stewart.

 

[Lincsong]

Lincsong,

Gable would have been my choice as well!

I grew a pencil moustache when I was 17 to look like Gable.lol

 

[catsmeow]

Can't decide , they all have their own special style!

I added Clark Gable because I think that he is a good canidate.

I think Errol is very dashing....but not because of his clothes. He is just a good looking guy who looked great in adventure movies. Thoughts?

Well, since I can't vote for William Powell, I voted for Cary Grant. Another favorite of mine, and my wife's favorite; as she puts it, "Be still, my heart!"

[Sefton]

Tough choices...I voted for Cary Grant although my hand was hovering over the Clark Gable button. Grant was my choice simply because of the length of his career. He was so stylish as a young man but also carried himself so wonderfully as a silver haired gentleman...a true icon for the 20th Century (and now too, of course!We need you Cary Grant!)

 

[Dixon Cannon]

From this list...

It would have to be Clark Gable. In reality though, I'm big Howard Hughes fan. No one wore a uniform as well as Gable!
