Team work! Buster Keaton tending the Cody mustache while Lew powders the well-known Keaton "deadpan." Just a couple of pals, that's all!

One Dress a Day Challenge
February: Coeli's Monochrome Picks
I'm No Angel / Mae West as Tira
Coeli's comment: "Wowza!"
The pre-code era strikes again, with Travis Banton as the designer. The slinky, low-cut gown with spiderweb wrap in the bottom photo looks positively demure next to the costume she's almost wearing in the other photos. In Tira's defense, she is a circus sideshow performer. However, it's not too hard to see why this movie was cited as one of the factors leading to the implementation of the Hays Code.
Classic lines:
"Oh, Beulah, peel me a grape!"
"Well, it's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men."
"When I'm good I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better."
