Vyjayanthimala and Dilip Kumar (Devdas, Naya Daur, Ganga Jumna)—no propaganda submitted

William Powell and Kay Francis (Jewel Robbery, One Way Passage)—HELLO i suggested william powell and kay francis yesterday but didnt think to include propaganda lol so here is some in case im the only person who submitted them and u have time to throw it in. this prolific duo made seven movies together between 1930 and 1932 and they are the quintessence of pre-code sophistication and witty sensuality to me. their chemistry together is delightful and it's no wonder they were paired up so many times. jewel robbery, which opens with debonair jewel thief william powell commiting the suavest robbery ever complete with offering the shop staff marijuana and just escalates from there, is an especially unhinged classic but doomed shipboard one way passage might be their best.

This is round 1 of a mini Christmas tournament. Each poll lasts for three days. If you'd like to send additional propaganda supporting your favorite hot couple, you can reblog this post with your propaganda added, send it to my asks, or tag me in it.
