Bramwell Fletcher

Patrick McNee

Is it Bramwell Fletcher? He's great in "The Mummy"!

The man is Bramwell Fletcher.

Russell Hardie.

Bramwell Fletcher.

James Dunn

Pat O'Brian

Lawrence Tierney

Phillips Holmes

Very nice still.

If Mary Malloy guessed Russell Hardie and if Mary Malloy is a designated winner than I too guess that it is Russell hardie.

Alec Guinness?

Gene Lyons

Gene Raymond?

I'll try Bramwell Fletcher, not nearly as hysterical as in "The Mummy."

Today's photograph reveals one of the secrets of glamour photography. The depth of field and focus are very narrow, with the focus sharpest on the eyes. Everything closer to us is slightly softened so that imperfections rarely register.

Very handsome--he's Irish, right?

Spencer Tracy

The lady with Bramwell is Helen Mack and the film SILENT WITNESS 1932.

Today's photo has Bramwell with Helen Mack in SILENT WITNESS.

Bramwell Fletcher.

PS - perhaps that's him at his wedding - with his first wife, Barbara Douglas.

Pamela

Bramwell and his first wife Helen Chandler. He's holding a loving cup for them to drink from together as part of the wedding reception.
