Dennis a Menace? Hardly.

Alright, let’s talk about
someone who you may or may not know: Dennis Morgan. Or if you’re not sure, here’s
his picture. Now, you’re probably
thinking “What’s so great about him?” Well, here’s my confession — I love Dennis
Morgan. I absolutely adore him. Every time I see that a film has Dennis Morgan
in it, I get excited. I can’t wait to see his beautiful smile, it totally melts
me. Is this a weird crush to
have? I feel like it is. Hardly anyone talks about Dennis. He wasn’t a major star,
and when he was popular during the 1940s, it wasn’t for very long. He wasn’t as
glamorous as Cary Grant…as elegant as William Powell…as talented as Humphrey
Bogart…as handsome as Gregory Peck…as funny as a Marx Brother…the list goes on.
So why do I adore him as much as I do? I don’t know. Watching Dennis Morgan gives
me such a warm and comforting feeling—he’s my film comfort food. I know he’s not
the best actor, but I really don’t care. The very first time I saw
him was opposite Ginger Rogers in KITTY FOY…
