When I google "rowing team 1940" nowhere do I find real life rowing teams wearing anything half as obscene as what Tyrone Power and his pals are wearing in the opening of the 1940 film Johnny Apollo, but I suppose that's the magic of the movies! And Tyrone Power's contract, no doubt. I haven't seen this whole film (have you? -- it's all on YouTube) but man these first few minutes are gay.
That old queen desperate to photograph the young hunks in their skimpy outfits, and the way Tyrone is protected and shielded (and man-handled) like a pretty little thing by the big strong man whos weeps in. But the best part...

... is how his bucolic man on man on man on man on man on man romping's cut short and he stares forlornly out the window to watch boys being boys on boys. No more sweetly innocent gay play for you, Tyrone. Oh well. Ya gotta grow up some day. Speaking of a Happy Birthday to Tyrone Power - he was born 103 years ago today. (No he's not still alive.)
