Not to change the subject girls, but as I guy which one would you fall for? Clara Bow or Jobyna Ralston?
Clara is cute as can be but I for one would have gone for Jobyna. She was wonderful in six of Harold Lloyd's best features including THE FRESHMAN, GIRL SHY and THE KID BROTHER. WINGS is a great film. -

I think Charles Rogers was prettier than Richard Arlen and the more typically handsome of the pair. But his character annoyed me and seemed gormless. Richard Arlen had unusual eyes and smouldered at points on screen. His character seemed to have more depth and to know how to suffer. So Richard Arlen for me. I kept wishing for Mary to meet David in Paris and fall in love with him. Alas 'twas not to be

To address the questions in this thread:
The big question: Richard Arlen or Charles "Buddy" Rogers Grandma was an avid movie-goer when she was young, and she saw "Wings" when it first came out. She and my grandfather had a marriage of 50 plus years, and she couldn't wait to go and join PupPup. Even so, until she passed, Grandma had a major crush on Charles "Buddy" Rogers and it's rather weird to hear your grandmother talk about men she finds attractive.
The lesser question Mary or Sylvia? All I can say is that, for me, it's Mary Preston all the way! -

As a teen in the 40's, my mom wrote a letter to Buddy Rogers due to his band, and he wrote back. I heard he was a nice guy. Not to mention a devoted husband, he was married to Mary Pickford for over 40 years I think. I recall he lived to be past 90 and died a couple of years ago. I once saw him in an interview on ET back in the 90's reading a letter Mary wrote him years ago.

As a relatively straight man, can I answer too?
I thought Richard Arlen was the sexier one, but Rogers had a more easygoing boyish charm to him.
And as for the girls, Bow is easily the better looking one, but I actually thought she was cutest in her uniform and not when she changes into the dancers clothes.
