Doris Day

[hotvintagepoll]

Doris Day (Calamity Jane)—ok listen. hear me out. she dresses like a cowboy in this. she is muddy and kinda gay. she scrungles

Elisha Cook Jr. (The Maltese Falcon, The House on Haunted Hill, The Big Sleep)—The most wet pathetic man you've ever seen - he's truly spineless and quivering like a chihuahua in every movie he's in. Occasionally he'll play a bad guy but he's the kind of bad guy that always loses INSTANTLY just cannot catch a break. He'd try to con you but end up being conned instead - the opposite of competency porn it's incompetent masturbation.

This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

Doris Day:

Elisha Cook Jr:

Look at his face. He’s real good at looking scared.

hes a little rat hes a little weasel he was born as a sopping wet mouse in a bucket of water he was only 5'5 and basically every role ive ever seen him in is him being a weird little freak this can be either threatening or pathetic and i think hes neat. he could fit in my shirt pocket and i would fold him up like a gum wrapper

During his film noir days, Elisha Cook Jr was typecast as a gangster who was not taken seriously due to his size despite having a greater hair-trigger for violence than the more physically intimidating thugs. Then, in House on Haunted Hill, he gives an entirely different scrungly little guy performance as the traumatized owner of a haunted house who gives bug-eyed stares and moans about how the ghosts killed his brother and will kill everyone else too. Not one, but two flavors of scrungly little guy!

The meek small-time crook of many a noir, his big sad eyes, perpetually furrowed brow and general air of pathetic impotence put me in mind of a wet Yorkshire Terrier, and I like that in a man.

Propaganda

Doris Day (Calamity Jane, Pillow Talk, The Man Who Knew Too Much)— God. Maybe because I'm a butch lesbian and Calamity Jane was the first time I remember seeing a clearly masculine woman on screen, but I just grew up with an enormous crush on her. It's partially her gorgeous disney princess singing voice, coupled with her incredible sense of humor. I love funny women and she is so funny, she oscillates between grace, elegance, and glamour and almost cartoonish physical gags without missing a beat. She can do it all. Plus HER FACE! Her million watt smile! Her spunky body language and knockout legs!

Anouk Aimée (La Dolce Vita, Lola)—no propaganda submitted

Anouk Aimée:

Doris Day:

Her smile?????? Her arms?????? Her presence????????? HER SMILE??????????? I've been in love with her as long as I can remember she's drop dead gorgeous and everything I want to be (on top of)

She was engaged in HIV/AIDS awareness and contributed financially to support programs as well as helping organise fundraising events

I think she has such a wholesome image that she'll lose immediately but I cannot rest if she's not at least represented! She's so pretty and charming and I love her singing.
