Nobody ever kissed me the way you do..........

Burt Lancaster. Siiiiggghhhhh!!!!  He was talented and smart, yet definitely not hard to look at either....  The George Clooney of his day, I suppose.

This scene from Here to Eternity is an absolute classic.  I find it hard to believe this was considered controversial when it was released.  It was due to the passion in their embrace and their kiss, combined with the fact that Deborah Kerr's character was another man's wife.  These days, people rarely would think twice about this, let alone be bothered by it.

He must have been pretty comfortable in his own skin.  I've seen many photos where he is nearly naked or completely so.

He was as close to a sex symbol as one could get at the time.  The fact that he flaunted his muscular physique is kind of sexy in its own right.  He was quite athletic and apparently a gymnast in his early days.

The best part about him, is that he was so much more than just a pretty face. If you've even seen any of his movies, you'd see this. Watching "From Here to Eternity" is where I'd start, but don't forget to see "Elmer Gantry."  His flashy suits and demeanor are really quite a sight.  His character rides the road to debauchery while outwardly appearing to take the moral high road.  Quite a performance.....

On that note, enough reminiscing about Burt Lancaster and the perfect physical specimen that he was, I think it's time for a cold shower myself.....lol
