Happy birthday to John Payne today. #BOTD in 1912. Let& #39;s celebrate shall we?? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Winking face" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face">
In Kansas City Confidential, he& #39;s in a robe for 8 minutes. EIGHT minutes.
Long before I was a classic film fan, I knew him as that suave hunky older guy (Ok, at 9, everyone was old, shut up) in Columbo with Janet Leigh. I love this episode. It& #39;s so heartbreaking.
I don& #39;t know what& #39;s wrong with John Payne in To the Shores of Tripoli (1942) but we don& #39;t really care, do we?
I mean, look come on how adorable is he in To the Shores of Tripoli? It deserves another gif.
Did you know that John Payne and Maureen O& #39;Hara also made another Tripoli themed film: Tripoli (1950). *blah blah blah* get to the gif

no maureen o& #39;hara is not in this gif i can& #39;t imagine why

[*yes I know they made 4 films together, I& #39;m commenting on the Tripoli connection]
Kid Nightingale (1939). Some of the best publicity photos for any movie EVER
Hell& #39;s Island (1955)
And a few more to wind up with...

Enjoy John Payne day, I hope you celebrate accordingly!
