John Payne's V-shaped torso
The "V"- shaped torso was a male ideal in the 1940s and nobody looked hotter with it than John Payne. But in the 1950s, his extreme "V" with skinny arms looks a bit freakish. You can see his ribcage
What exercises does one do to get a "V" torso anyway?

I think if you decided tye dumbell pullover was your focus, the way some ppl focus on the flat bench, you'd be on your way to this shape, but it's also genetics involved

Looks stupid. He's sucking in his stomach and puffing out his chest. Even though he's got a great body, that looks stupid.

He was known as a pussy hound and quite good in the sack.
Once married to Gloria DeHaven and had an affair with Jane Russell and knocked her up, but she aborted it.

Small waists are over-rated these days, but back then, they meant something, they were prized.
And that's why trousers and speedos were always worn up on the real waist (bellybutton height) and cinched in tightly. It was an entirely different aesthetic, as foreign to us today as petticoat breeches and pumpkin hose.

r7 is probably the hottest photo ever taken of a male studio star in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Or, it's certainly among the top 3.

r10 Indeed it is. It's amazing it got by the censors. Those hi-rise trunks covered the navel. Crazy that NAVELS were censored. I'm surprised there are some '40s photos of Payne with an unshaven chest.
r4: I've never seen that photo of Mitchum before, thanks for posting it.

R4, Joan Rivers claimed she and Robert Mitchum fucked after he was a guest when she hosted the Tonight Show.
