Thanks for this one. Brings back memories. I saw it when it came out in 1966 (that dates me) and it was the first time I'd seen an actor wearing briefs on the big screen. Quite nice. I've since learned that there were other, earlier films with actors in briefs (but not many). Tall Story in 1960 with Tony Perkins;A Weekend With Lulu (a British flick from 1961) and most surprising, White Christmas has a scene about 15-20 minutes into the movie where Bing Crosby is changing clothes in his dressing room - if you look closely you can see he's wearing briefs (and that was in 1954!).
The first movie I saw that had a male wearing white briefs was 1964's "The Night of the Iguana" where Richard Burton went swimming in his TWs with Sue Lyon off the coast of Puerto Vallarta , Mexico.

ReplyDeleteVery cool .... now I'm trying to remember (and failing) the first time I saw someone wearing briefs in a movie.
