The biggest lament (aka gripe) was pitting Mitchum against Bogart. My apologies for putting such a favorite out of the race so quickly.
For the write-in question, Bogart is by far predicted to be the final winner. We shall see…
Keep an eye out for my next post, where we’ll bring in heavy-hitters Stanwyck and Robinson for Round 2!
And thanks so much for participating and sharing. This is great fun.

You also pitted Lupino against Scott. Since they’re two of my three faves (the other’s Grahame), I stopped participating at that point. To judge by the closeness of the voting on that pair, I perhaps wasn’t the only one with the dilemma.

It’s just a pastime. I regret you felt the need to actually drop out.
