One handsome couple do Bob and Myrna make. Here we have a stare down between Jimmie and Mary in When Ladies Meet (1933). I like the concept of Bob competing with Frank Morgan for Myrna. Too much. Still, it is one of Bob's better movies, definitely worth watching.
Handsome couple, don't you think. This publicity shot was taken for Bondie of the Follies (1932).
The usual pale-skinned Mr. Montgomery is replaced here with a heavily tanned Mr. Montgomery. Blondie was filmed June through July, and it appears Bob got in a few weekends playing polo. Yeah, looking good, Mr. Montgomery.

Happy Birthday (almost late), Captain Kirk! 95 ... Wow!
I know, I can't help it. A guilty pleasure of mine.
Every once in a while, I get very lucky and pick up an original Hurrell. Even a Montgomery collector (hoarder) like me has spending limits, so obtaining one at a good price is always a thrill for me. I ran across this photograph taken for No More Ladies (1935) about a year ago. No thrills since ...
Just love the clarity of an original print. One can enlarge a part of it and the clarity is retained.
And if you need further validation, there's always that Hurrell M.G.M stamp on the back. The ink has faded; it is barely readable. The green stamp on the lower left corner is by the council set up to make sure everything produced by the studios passed code. Which explains the holes punched at the top of the photograph. Many of those photographs were kept in two-hole binders. What a way to treat an original Hurrell!
Two excellent postcards of Bob Montgomery. In both photographs he is wearing the exact same outfit: the same suit coat, same tie and clasp, same shirt, and same handkerchief. The hairline is the same ... it is the same photo session.
So, why does his face look so different?
Mr. Montgomery had an interesting face, indeed.
