Propaganda
Burt Lancaster (The Rain Maker, The Unforgiven)—doesn't the picture do all the talking? as if that wasn't enough he was a big supporter of civil rights, and campaigned against aids in support of his friend rock hudson :') i just think social engagement is sexy :')
Toshiro Mifune (Rashumon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—"i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto's (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he's the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he's ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal."
This is round 2 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn't happy about it though)."

"During the late eighties Burt Lancaster and I made a movie in Rome, entitled The Day Before. One day on the set I told Burt how much I enjoyed From Here to Eternity, in which he’d starred with Frank. Burt didn’t go into too much detail, but he talked about director Fred Zinnemann and about Frank, who played a flashy supporting role. He said that Frank was always on the phone, drinking too much, trying in vain to reach Ava in Madrid, where she was having a torrid affair with one of the leading bullfighters. She must have had very special material to offer. I know of three guys who made love to her and they all went crazy when she left them. She always left them."
