Harold Nicholas (Stormy Weather, The Pirate)—it makes me so mad that he never got a chance to be a proper leading man in his own right!! watch his dancing with his brother in "Stormy Weather" [submitted link] and tell me this man shouldn't have been leading full on musicals on the regular!
Mel Ferrer (War and Peace, Scaramouche)—he is beautiful in a lean narrow elegant way in war and peace. audrey hepburn's husband
This is round 1 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.
I just saw this in another post, and hadn't noticed that the film is 1943's "Stormy Weather" and in particular the legendary Nicholas Brother's even MORE legendary "Jumpin' Jive" routine which has to be seen to be believed.

Dick teaching Haley to dance to this is just so cute, but Dick Grayson is perhaps one of the few people on Earth who could begin to match the dancing skill and acrobatic talent of Harold and Fayard Nicholas. (Haley I'm less sure about, but she'd give it her all, I have no doubt)
Has anyone submitted Gene Kelly and Nicholas Brothers in Be A Clown yet? The sheer athleticism of this number really demonstrates the skill of all three of them, though even Gene had a lil trouble keeping up with the brothers, a lesser man wouldve been left in the dust
First of all...this dance is amazing!!! Secondly...You know that I would not use the term "brick house", unless I had a VERY good reason, guys (which, as you can see...I do). 🤭 I mean...Gene keeps singlehandedly holding up two grown men. He's really left me no other choice! In other words...I am completely innocent, here! 😄 Also, the legendary Nicholas Brothers are just wonderful, aren't they? This one really is a treat!!! 🥰 Gene Kelly, with the Nicholas Brothers, in "The Pirate" (1948). 💕
