M.G.M.'S ... fastest wisecracker, indeed.

"M.G.M.'s leading light comedian and fastest wisecracker has his serious moments.  He brought one with him for this picture.  Bob has been making big pictures since 1930, when he appeared in "Inspiration" with Garbo.  This year (1934) you saw him with Joan in "Forsaking All Others" and '"No More Ladies."

I collect magazine prints of Mr. Montgomery because they are a lot less expensive than actual photographs.  I could not afford an original of this Hurrell photograph.  In fact, this is the only copy of either version I've seen.  Yeah, an 11x14 photograph of a nonchalant Mr. Montgomery to hang above my desk.  Almost perfect.
