You'll remember John Loder from films in the 1930's and 40's, in particular Hitchcock's
Sabotage,
How Green Was My Valley and as the somewhat stodgy Elliot in
Now Voyager (among others, he had quite a long career). Seeing him this past weekend in Miles Mander's 1928 film
The First Born was a revelation. In the 20's he was really a hottie! This portrait is circa 1928, so you can see what I mean. Mander treated us to some smoldering closeups of Loder across a dining table that I won't soon forget!
