Here’s another photo from the amazing collection of Steven Bibb!
Update: This is Bobby Readick in “Harrigan’s Kid,” co-billed on July 22, 1943, with “Du Barry Was a Lady” at Grauman’s, the Carthay Circle, Lowe’s State and the Fox Ritz – that’s one I don’t recall. “Cole Porter’s ‘Torchiest’ Tunes?” Really??
Is this Darryl Hickman in Boy’s Ranch (1946)?
how about a closeup?
Roddy McDowell in My Friend Flicka
Dean Stockwell?
Jimmy Lydon.
Johnny Downs?
The first impression is that this is a young Scotty Beckett, but it could just as well be an older Carl Switzer or his brother Harold.
Eddie Arcaro
Jackie Moran?
Horse Heidt or Louis B. Mare
Ah, “DuBarry Was a Lady” – yet another Broadway musical bought for the movies & shredded.
According to Imdb, only TWO Cole Porter tunes remained in the score when the film was made:
“Katie Went to Haiti” and “Friendship”, neither of which even comes close to “torchy”. (Please – , can anyone imagine Zero Mostel ( even as a kid) performing in a torchy number???)
Still, it’s not a bad picture – it’s just NOT a Cole Porter musical.
