Yeah, he could've passed as the villain!

A really nice photograph.  Love all the light angles, the highlighted white tie, Bob's pouty lips ...

Who's In the Doghouse?

"Lt. Commander Robert Montgomery and Mrs. Montgomery at the premiere of 'Since You Went Away' directed by John Cromwell."  June, 1944

It's Bob's expression:  does he look on the verge of losing it, or what?  Betty, as is highly unusual, is walking a distance away and in front of Bob.  She looks very stern/determined, as in daring anyone to get in her way, or for Bob to say anything to her at all.  Since You Went Away is 2 hrs. and 57 min. long.  That must have been a very exhausting experience.  

Goooo, Charles, Irene and Charles!!

 KEEP IT CLEAN - Charles Boyer, Irene Dunne and Charles Coburn do a polish job on the status of the town's hero in Columbia's gay comedy, "Together Again."

I can't imagine a more awkward trio of pitchmen.  But the old pros that they are, all have their best grins for the cameraman. 

How Robert Montgomery helped daughter Liz

 Think Small, Think Postcards

George Hurrell took a lot of portraits of Robert Montgomery.  Unfortunately, very few are in circulation.  Heck, even the postcard versions are rare.  

It is Norma Shearer being won over by Bob in this publicity shot for Strangers May Kiss (1931).  Yes, even posing for publicity shots could be enjoyable with the right partner.  

Hurrell took a goodly number of photographs for Riptide (1934), with Bob, Norma and Herbert Marshall.  They were taken to highlight Norma; the silk gown and no underwear helped.   

Forsaking All Others (1934) was filmed late in the year, after Hurrell left MGM.  A gent named Tanner took this photo of Bob, Joan Crawford and Clark Gable.  Joan was in between marriages, enjoying her affair with Clark; Bob was enjoying working with friend Gable, and not with Hurrell.
