Netflix Movies Starring Lee Bowman

Lee Bowman made his reputation as a suave, polished leading man opposite glamorous stars like Rita Hayworth and Jean Arthur in the 1940's. The columnist Jack Sher (later a noted writer and director) referred to him in 1944 as 'a very hot commodity' in Hollywood. A graduate from the University of Cincinnati, Bowman had studied acting at the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts, and, with the determination to succeed as a screen actor, went to tinsel town in 1934. After several bit parts, he landed his first credited screen role and made a quick impact in the screwball comedy I Met Him in Paris (1937). Sporting a thin moustache and invariably elegantly attired, Bowman quickly established an image as a smooth, wise-cracking bon vivant, most frequently in films for MGM or Columbia. He rarely enjoyed top billing (a rare exception being his co-starring role opposite Jean Arthur in the ponderous drama The Impatient Years (1944)), and was often third or fourth on the list of credits as the man-about-town friend of the hero, who doesn't get the girl in the end.
