Non-Ivy Style: Maurice Chevalier In 'Love Me Tonight'

The film itself, made at Paramount in 1932, around the same time as the Marx Brothers were working there, is very much for cineastes and sophisticates.  But I should like to draw your attention to the way Chevalier looks upon first dressing, near the beginning of the film: the polo neck, the cap worn at a jaunty angle.  The jacket that follows is very fitted but, like Astaire, Chevalier throws a good shape.  I wonder if stylists like Bruce Boyer ever commented.

For those of you with a taste for pre-Production Code eroticism, these early 30s films are a must.  Never did women look like that again.
