John Wayne and Howard Keel's facial hair

These two topics are not super related but both are inspired by my watching habits over the past week.  Most of my posts are the result of what movies I've watched on TCM.  And this week has been pretty light because John Wayne is the star of the month for April.  And it culminated with showing mostly John Wayne movies all this week (or at least those are the only movies the popped up on demand on the TCM app). So, I hate John Wayne.  Okay, hate is kind of a strong word, but I definitely dislike John Wayne.  He did mostly Westerns and War movies, two genres I don't particularly care for, unless there is an actor I really enjoy (I'm thinking of Gregory Peck in The Guns of Navarone and The Big Country).  Furthermore, he specialized in the cowboys vs. Native American Westerns, which I like even less. But, I've tried to see John Wayne movies that are outside those two genres.  I saw The Quiet Man (at the AFI Silver around Saint Patrick's Day) and while I enjoyed the movie, both John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara were my least favorite characters in the movie (I really wanted to learn about the widow who ruled the village with an iron fist).  The movie I did watch on TCM this week was the film adaptation of Annie Get Your Gun.  And I could not stop staring at Howard Keel's naked face.  In Seven Brides for Seven Brother he has a beard and then a sensible mustache and in Kiss Me Kate, he has a mustache.  Seeing his naked upper lip was very distracting.  And so was knowing that everyone was so mean to Betty Grable (so much that she kind of stopped acting after that movie, which means I have another reason to like Dan Dailey because the both of them look so happy in pictures I've seen of them from their films together).
