There are a number of excellent publicity stills taken of Bob for Ride the Pink Horse (1947). He is in character, helping to establish former playboy Bob Montgomery as tough guy Lucky Gagin. Four years of military service has toughened Mr. Montgomery, he looks comfortable with the gun. Time has also hardened that formerly beautiful face. He's a handsome dude, but one that has been knocked around a bit, more real.
Bob's signature has changed as well, no longer the beautifully drawn one of the 1930s. It is hurried, matching the man who has less time for personal vanity. I wonder who "T______y" was.
