I concur, in part- Woof-Woof for Kal-Kan.

I really do love Ida Lupino, but every time I see her I can only think of Fred Sanford. Every movie he ever watched on the late show (which he would always describe to Lamont) featured that fabulous actress Ida "Lupini" - and that's how I always want to pronounce her name.

I need therapy :D

I thought if they posted your guess that meant you guessed wrong. But that is certainly Franchot Tone. And a great woman director, Ida Lupino!

Larry's on vacation, he's not holding the answers from day to day.

Tone looks REALLY good here, considering how he looked in previous pictures from earlier in the 1950s. And Ida always had the best hair.
