Shocking to see Fredric March...

...looking that way. I remember the dashing, beautiful leading man in "The Dark Angel", "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde", opposite Garbo in "Anna Karenina", and many more. I realize that time takes a toll on all of us. But really, the man is unrecognizable. He aged terribly. What was it - drink? Illness? Really shocking and sad to see him so transformed.

It's called Make-Up, my friend...Make-Up.
Which, btw, says a lot about the amazing skills of artists Larry Germain and Bud Westmore, not to mention Fredrc March himself!

It's called acting.

To me, March's make up looks, especially in the darker scenes, like he got a bad spray tan!

So, not the greatest work on make up here. You can even see his skull cap wrinkle when you see his head from behind.
