One of my favorites - Rudolph Valentino in "The Young Rajah."

Valentino had a GREAT body long before most male movie stars had great bodies.

Standing.

The costume was designed by his then-wife Natacha Rambova.

I don't know that Leslie Howard managed it in "Scarlet Pimpernel." Although that rather was the point.

Sabu's rocking his costume here in "The Drum."

Raymond Massey wore brown-face in it and looked like a melting Burnt-Sienna crayon.
