Bob and Elliott Nugent began their long friendship while co-starring in So This is College (1929), a friendship that even lasted through a failed attempt at becoming a successful Broadway production company. Nugent seems to have been even more driven than Bob. Check out his IMDB credits as actor, writer, and director. Then consider that he was also a successful actor, writer and director on Broadway. Whew! Tires me out just reading about him.
This photo shows them pausing, momentarily, while Bob visits Elliott on the set of his movie Give Me a Sailor (1938), in which he has the joy of directing Bob Hope and Martha Raye.
Check out their hands. They also share the reaction of taking off their glasses when a photographer approaches.
And I do realize that 1938 was not a great fashion year for men, but Bob ... really. Where did you find that tie?

I once read that Robert Montgomery was such an impeccable dresser that he wouldn't carry a wallet for fear that it would ruin the line of his suit.
Carol - Yes, that's our Bob! One well-dressed, elegant lad was he. That's why I'd love to know the colors involved in his outfit, his tie, the band of his hat, the suit, his socks...you know everything worked perfectly.
