Oh yes, his eyes, definitely! So beautifully expressive. And of course you've seen them in color, Elizabeth: "Treasure Island," "Long John Silver," "The Beachcomber" ... and have you seen "Around the World in 80 Days"? Yes, they are definitely a dark, soulful brown.

He had lovely hands as well (I love the way he moved them too), and have you noticed the dimples in his cheeks? Not to mention his wonderful voice!

BTW, speaking of mannerisms, have any of you noticed his repeated use of what I've started calling the "Newton Maneuver"? I suppose it's not all that uncommon (I've noticed Emlyn Williams doing the same thing in JI, for example), but Bob seems to do it so often, I've started noticing ... He'll be talking to someone he has a rapport with (e.g., Purity, or Maureen O'Hara in the cave, et al.) and kind of whacks them gently in the upper arm with the back of his hand in a friently sort of "Hey, I have an idea!" gesture. If you watch closely, you'll see he does that over and over! It gives me a sense of the warm, charming person so many of his costars and friends describe him as.

In fact, just for fun, maybe we could start a list ... how many scenes can you name where he does that characteristic arm whack?

Oh the dimples!!! I've noticed them all my life, I've just never said anything about it. Ok, so I have 3 weakneses, more to love. =~)
Ok, yeah, I've seen him in color, I forgot about that! I've seen so many of his in B&W. Yea, his voice is all soft and sweet.
I've noticed him doing that too, alot of times. That just seems like what he would do, weather it was in the script or not. I'm happy he did, so now, we can see how sweet and kind he was.
