Can anyone identify the (1950s?) romantic (screwball?) comedy where the lead is interrupted while shaving off his moustache, dashes out with it removed on one side but not the other, and spends the next few scenes looking ridiculous? I am pretty sure it was Robert Cummings. American romantic comedy film directed by Richard Wallace and starring Hedy Lamarr and Robert Cummings. Written by Howard Irving Young, Edmund L. Hartmann, Albert J. Cohen, and Jack Harvey, the film is about an overworked advertising executive who is being pursued romantically by his former fiancée, a successful perfume magnate, who is also the ad agency's largest client. While visiting a new client—a psychiatrist and author—to discuss a proposed ad campaign, his life becomes further complicated when the new client turns out to be a beautiful woman, who decides to treat his nervous condition. While taking a taxi to the psychologist's office, Duke shaves with an electric razor he invented, but his nervousness and stress result in leaving half his mustache intact. When he arrives at the client's office, Duke discovers that J.O. Loring is in fact an attractive woman named Jo (Hedy Lamarr). Staring at the half a mustache, Jo mistakes him for one of her mentally disturbed patients. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Live_a_Little

Great work, BAT, and so quickly too. Must be 70 years since I watched it so my memory lapse is forgiveable. I cannot find a still of the offending item though. It's on YouTube but a blurred TV rip. I think I'll pass.

A quartet of 'stached chaps--three heroic, one villainous--from my favorite version of The Prisoner of Zenda (1937).  Left to right: C. Aubrey Smith, Ronald Colman, David Niven, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. |

 John Boles, another of those now forgotten stars of the early 1930s who was payed 275.000 USD per/movie once up till 1935. Today his most famous movie is Frankenstein 1931, even I can't remember he was in it!, but back then leant star value.

Not from a movie, but from one of the final episodes of FOX's TV series, The Passage, one character says to James Le Gros' annoying character something along the lines of, "Shut up or I'll rip that mustache off your face and feed it to you before I kill you!" I found it funny.   |
