    Note that while signing and smiling his cigarette is still burning between his fingers

    @ellen forsyth - I'm sure they probably got training in that by the studios :D

    I liked that girl's smile. But is he sweating under the arms?

    we can only see one, but I presume it is happening under both arms!!!....and i think that mark in the "under arm area" is from dampness.

    Ah! but they weren't as phobic about under arm dampness as they are these days. Not sure but I don't think underarm pore sealant had been invented then.
