This is a three-way poll. Only one of these men will continue to the third round of the bracket. Choose wisely.
Propaganda
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" [video below] and tell me this man shouldn't have been leading full on musicals on the regular!
Clark Gable (Gone With the Wind, It Happened One Night)—GWtW is an epic stretching across years so Clark has a chance to show off a whole bunch of different sides, from Hot Outsider to Husband to Father and so on. But his most attractive is his final line of the movie, made only better by the story that he lobbied the Film Industry to ‘Let Rhett Curse!’ And who is more classic 30s Hollywood than this man?
Guy Madison (5 Against the House, Till the End of Time)—no propaganda submitted
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.

Und wieder einmal feierten wir völlig unkritisch und mit größtem Vergnügen die Beiträge der schwarzen Rasse zur Unterhaltungsindustrie der letzten 25 Jahre. Vor 1943. Natürlich ist nicht alles politisch korrekt, aber es wäre ein Jammer, deshalb auf die brillante Show von Lena, Bill, Cab und Fats, den Salt Lake City Blues und die Nicholas Brothers in der von Fred Astaire als die großartigste Tanznummer, die er je gesehen habe gepriesene zu verzichten.
