Ladies man and leading man, if there is one person that is a perfect example of old-school Hollywood charm, it is the legendary Howard Keel. From his dead-sexy voice to unmistakable swagger and unbridled charisma, he was the ultimate showman. I cannot think of anyone who gave more magnetic performances, and despite his tendency to play the douche, he compelled leading ladies and audiences alike to love him more than they could be enraged. I'll run reviews of the cream of his musicals, working my way up to what I think is the best:
4. Kiss Me Kate
3. Calamity Jane
2. Showboat
1. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
The original guyliner- more please!
