To not understand why Clark Gable was considered handsome? <trivial thread>

[Salmotrutta]

I mean, he wasnt really was he? Somewhat rubbery looking if you ask me

I'm sure I read somewhere he had terribly bad breath too ...

I shold explain I've been dipping in and out of Teacher's Pet on TV (Doris Day and Clark Gable)

Give me Yul Brynner/Steve McQueen/James Stewart etc. anyday!

I think he was handsome for his time and he seemed to sweep women of their AHEM feet , i think he made women swoon rather than PHWOAAAAAAAAR .
now paul newman or steve Mcqueen now PHWOAAAAAAAAAR brando MEH

Gregory Peck and Richard Burton...yes, yes, yes.

Clarke Gable - anaconda

Paul Newman yes especially in Hud

Steve McQueen in every film

something about Robert Mitcham too

James Stewart was lush!

But Gregory Peck, OMG as nobody said then. Twelve O'Clock High is the one for me.

I like Clark Gable in It Happened One Night when he was super skinny. Same for James Stewart in Phildelphia Story.

Richard Burton looks like a fat grumpy girl with a rug on her head tbh.

Oliver reed was really Handsome when he was youngerand even as an older man before died , he looked right dirty

haha it seems wrong but I agree

Jimmy Stewart and Marlon Brando I can completely understand but Clark Gable

Mind you my dad goes on about what a sex abject Felicity Kendall was in her hey-day which my husband does not understand, they've even had heated discussions over it.

Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch is the most beautiful man ever.

Gary Cooper but only in early stuff like A Farewell To Arms.

I heard the bad breath thing too. But maybe Vivien Leigh was being a cow.

Marlon Brando put it about that Sophia Loren had hairy nostrils because she annoyed him.

Charlton Heston too.

How dare you say that about my DH

Sex abject. teehee

Steve McQueen - yummy

I was quite partial to Tony Curtis as a girl, (and as a girl - Some Like it Hot)

Gone with the Wind is problematic in so many ways, Ashley for a start, but Clark Gable was sort of twinkly in it. Until he rapes Scarlett.

Gregory Peck -- now you're talking!

Cary Grant had a certain something too

Charlton Heston has an extremely dodgy walk...

joanofarchitrave Richard Burton looks like a fat grumpy girl with a rug on her head tbh.

Nah, Burton in his prime was completely dashing. The booze ruined his face mind.

Charlton heston has arthritis thats probably why he has a dodgey walk , It was hidden back in his heyday disability not being cool etc

feels evil now

aww no i didnt want to make you feel evil dont be daft

Oh Gregory Peck in The Big Country - sublime!

And Cary Grant was sooo dashing too!

I once saw Sean Connery in RL - he really did have presence and was very handsome in his young day. And of course was the only real Bond. Not that I watch Bond films

And it had never occured to me that Rhett rapes Scarlett, but he really fucking well does doesn't he?

Shirley - he does. But she sort of "deserves" it for being such a madam.
See. Problematic

Now I'm really miserable and my favourite film of all time ever is all tainted by rapey Rhett.

Bugger.
