I'm Sure She Enjoyed the Flub

It's Bob heading for a fencing lesson in preparation for his role as Crown Prince Florizel in Trouble for Two (1936).  He was no doubt thrilled to wear his complete fencing outfit.  The opportunity doesn't come up that often, even for Bob.  Besides being a nifty photo, the publicity department made a slight error in the description on the back.  'Tis a good one. 

            

Bob and Friends (?) Out On The Town

Other than all being in the movie business, I just do not see Bob, Keenan Wynn and Peter Lawford as having much in common.  And to spend an evening together at Mogambo's ... well, gee, maybe.  It couldn't be that they were all MGM contract players (including Marilyn Maxwell) ... oh, probably.  But it's an entertaining little feature anyway, even if there is a minor mistaken ID in the center photo.***

"A playfully provoked threesome at the Mocambo were Mrs. Keenan Wynn, Peter Lawford and Keenan, who thought it was about time he got a chance to dance with his wife---please.
 

Mr. & Mrs. Robert Montgomery were also having a night out with blonde Marilyn Maxwell in their party.
 

Bob did some gag swapping later with comedian Keenan and Peter."
 

I like how Bob has both the women and the men breaking up.  A night at Mogambo's with Mr. Montgomery ... yeah, I could go for that. 

*** Yes, that is definitely not Betty.  I wonder who she was. 

Now That's a Kiss!

Definitely a man in possession ...

Hell by the Clock, by Lt Cmdr. H. Montgomery

In June, 1941, Robert Montgomery went on active duty with the U.S. Navy.  As in, we haven't even gone to war as yet, but our Bob has halted his very successful movie career to serve his country.  And he is 37 years old.  He will serve for four years.  How absolutely amazing that he would do so, to have such a deep sense of civic duty and commitment to his country.  His service stood out during a time when millions served their country.  I cannot think of a present day equivalent.  Practically one of a kind, when you think about it.  Thanks, Mr. Montgomery.

Bob saw action in the Pacific.  He wrote the following article about part of that service. 

Hoping Everyone is Warm & Cozy!
