One must imagine if Robespierre was in actuality true to this complexion, he would not befell such a fate as his.

Okay, but only one of you is the tumblr 'sexyman' and is not you. Also, with all due respect (which is none), if you were half the philosopher, libertine and as popular with Parisian ladies as Robespierre you wouldn't have gone to multiple prisons on contrived (in my historiographic opinion) sexual assault charges even if the person you (allegedly) assaulted was below your station.

We all lie to look better than we are sometimes, some more than others. 🤷‍♀️

I believe the real question is, are you 'pretty' covered in blood, suffering humiliation few can handle and do you look as good going to the gallows as John André? I'll wait.

That is because history misremembers him!

Robespierre was no philosopher! He was a Republican. He blithely regurgitated Montesquieu and Mably, as did Rousseau! He was a hypocrite consort! he preached virtue, but was as vicious as I am! he did away with Catholicism, in exchange for a novel cult of the Supreme Being! What idiocy! Does he not see that is but Catholicism with a single degree of separation?

While I see to it to be amiable to his effort against tyranny, methinks his politics masked his true libertine philosophy at the beck of the gentry. —it comes to mind, they did not favor his.

Last I recall, I kept mine. . . though admittedly, to do away with it many such critics have proposed.

Popular consensus and every historian on this subject disagrees with you, petit Marquis envieux. Also, you did not the question, are you pretty bleeding and in unconquerable pain or not? (It is not a threat it is a promise).

Who is the hottest old movie man? (round 1)

Leslie Howard

Ronald Colman

Voting ended onJan 1, 2024

Propaganda

Leslie Howard (Gone With the Wind, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Pygmalion)—no propaganda submitted

Ronald Colman (Arrowsmith, Random Harvest, Prisoner of Zenda)—1920s heartthrob to 1930s matinée idol to 1940s silver fox Oscar winner to 1950s comedy radio star, this man could do it ALL. I feel he is unfairly neglected today despite his smile making it into P.G. Wodehouse novels and the knee-melting qualities of his voice making it into a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical. A women's college made him the winner in their hottest celebrity poll in 1942, and I am right there with them. He was by all accounts an absolutely lovely person, as well, but I recognize that this poll is about the hotness and I think that Ronald Colman deserves more recognition for being ridiculously handsome and doing heartbreaking face-acting and having weaponizable quantities of charm. Also he saved David Niven's life (according to the latter's memoir) by shooting a shark once. Very sexy of him.

This is round 1 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.

I was very shocked when I first found out Wildhorn made all of these, and it seems some other people are as well.

However I have found a way to spot his musicals in the wild. Ask yourself the following two questions. If the answers to one or more of them is "Yes" then you may have found one of his musicals.

Does this musical have an abundance of power ballads?

Was this musical successful in continental Europe or Asia despite a lack of success in the United States?*

*I think Jekyll & Hyde and The Scarlet Pimpernel both ran for multiple years on Broadway, but even they still lost money. However after those two his other musicals that ran on Broadway had rather short runs, and since the 2010s his new musicals generally haven't received American productions at all and instead debut directly in Korea, Japan, or Europe.
