    That’s the word I’d been hunting for. Incomparable. Indeed, for Eartha.

    Just how white is Cary’s shirt!?!
    And how pretty is Ms Kitt? Incomparably, quite so.

      The best dressed man in Hollywood, in the twenties and thirties most costume designers concentrated on the female characters in film because the men were supposed to supply their own suits and have their own tailors.

        Well of course I still have that expectation of men to this day… sadly I’m most often disappointed.

      I was looking at that dress, there must have been some substructure to that nipped in waist, don’t you think?
