Wipe the sleep out of your eyes, slide on your bifocals, whatever it takes because, yes, we're back once more with a round up of revealing trousers and other clothing! There are several photos today that are not from a western project, but because the vast majority are this time, we went with the subject title shown above. (Our cover boy today is Fernando Lamas, hanging around with his gun.) I have to make the disclaimer, one that I often do, that most of these bulges that aren't actual still photos, are far more eye-catching in motion than in frame captures. Nevertheless, there are a few sprinkled about that ought to make you look twice. And now, let's zip to the subject at hand!
 |
The Dark Tower (1943) had Anne Crawford and David Farrar as a high wire act, with Farrar in the customary tights. |
 |
If you've ever seen Black Narcissus (1947) you will recall his face. |
 |
When the twosome is introduced, things get pretty swingy. |
 |
After that initial glimpse, Farrar is shown climbing the ladder and now has on some obvious protection/camouflage! Perhaps someone noticed an issue in the earlier take. |
 |
Before we leave the circus theme, I give you brothers Ricky and David Nelson. Did you know that, for a time in the early-'60s, these two performed a trapeze act?! David took an interest in it after The Big Circus (1959) and coerced Ricky into joining him for a while. |
 |
Here we see Angie Dickinson enjoying a stroll with A Fever in the Blood (1961) costar Efrem Zimbalist Jr and his snug pants. |
 |
Gaze upon the gorgeous visage of Steve Cochran, hairy-chested star of the '40s & '50s, in the 1951 movie The Tanks are Coming (they aren't alone!) |
 |
Strolling alongside Phil Carey in his weathered uniform, we get a quick glimpse of Steve Jr. |
 |
This publicity shot of Clint Eastwood indulging in a workout was chosen more for his pal in the back and his straining shorts! |
 |
I don't know the guy's name, but I'd like to! (Is it Jock Mahoney, who I don't normally find very attractive?) |
 |
George Maharis is on a revealing moonlight walk with Susan Oliver and Martin Milner in an episode of Route 66. |
 |
Poor Susan doesn't seem to realize that there can sometimes be snakes out at night! |
 |
Years later on Fantasy Island, a rather waxen-looking Maharis guest-starred and showed that his dressing preferences hadn't changed much. |
 |
In the episode, he and James Darren are competing over the affections of... Helen Reddy! |
 |
I don't know if I've ever hated a fur coat more than this one, which is covering up part of hunkalicious Chad Everett's leather pants! |
 |
These next three pics are from a seaside photo shoot which blissfully contain Everett wearing some cut-off shorts, emphasis on short! |
 |
I don't know how our Chad could have sat down on this day without slipping out of these. |
 |
Now if only I knew what the project was and if he wore this get-up in it! |
 |
This is Christopher Jones, star of Wild in the Streets (1968.) |
 |
As a rock star who first supports a youth-oriented candidate, but late becomes President himself, he sported some very tight pants. |
 |
In this performance sequence, you can see the way he's poured into them. |
 |
Seriously... |
 |
'60s pretty boy turned '70s macho hunk Robert Conrad liked to serve-up bare-chested beefcake and bulge on many an occasion. |
 |
His WWII series Baa Baa Black Sheep (1976-1978) afforded plenty of opportunities for him to do both. |
 |
It's rather rare to see Jack Nicholson in pants so tight, but here he is in the classic movie Five Easy Pieces (1970.) |
 |
Why Karen Black is more focused on her bowling shoes is anybody's guess! Ha! |
 |
Tom Berenger in one of his early movies (perhaps The Dogs of War, 1980?) |
 |
Ricardo Montalban, of the aforementioned Fantasy Island, sometimes broke away from his white suits and donned some riding pants. |
 |
As you can see, they were quite snug and revealing. |
 |
Fantasy Island guest star David Cassidy let it all hang out in one scene. |
 |
Ya gotta love the '70s and '80s (the '60s, too) |
 |
This guy is just a background extra from The Love Boat, but you'd be surprised what pops up during that series' hallway and, especially, poolside scenes. |
 |
Meet Mr. Robert Urich of Vega$, strutting around in some clingy blue jeans. |
 |
Here he takes a ball-bursting walk with Tony Curtis (who was no slouch in the bulge department himself in the 1970s.) |
 |
No wonder this show was one of Urich's big hits. |
 |
Here he charms guest star Kim Basinger. |
 |
The short-lived show Square Pegs (1982-1983) set at a high school, occasionally featured some revealing clothing. This weight-lifting guy, campaigning to be the school's mascot, is Jon Caliri. |
 |
A bigger impression was made by Merrit Butrick (remember him as William Shatner's son in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, 1982?) |
 |
This scene, taking place on a baseball diamond, had enough dirt in it to mess up Butrick's black jeans and highlight his crotch. |
 |
There was more than one bat onhand. |
 |
Here, Butrick rocks some leather pants that have an awful lot going on inside them! |
 |
This young man is Michael Bowen in 1985's Private Resort. |
 |
On his way to meet a prospective date, his pants can barely contain their excitement... |
 |
His cocky attitude spoils his chances with the girl. Bowen proceeded on to a lengthy and busy career in TV and movies that continues to this day. |
 |
One of The Underworld's faithful readers sent in this two-part photo of Steve Guttenberg in one of the Cocoon movies. |
 |
Another reader shared this revealing print ad. |
 |
This guy certainly deserves a closer look and no doubt did from the many folks who purchased that issue of GQ! |
 |
At long last we come to the western part of this post. (I really amassed a lot of pics this time out!) Here, Rory Calhoun is ready to show us his gun(s.) |
 |
Previously seen Chad Everett is bursting with pride during his first series, The Dakotas (1962-1963.) |
 |
One of Bonanza's (1959-1973) key assets was the series of taupe trousers that Michael Landon sported as Little Joe. |
 |
As fans of the show know, Little Joe was not so little... |
 |
Sometimes his presence on-screen made it difficult to pay attention to the storyline and dialogue! |
 |
It's tough to make out in this dark scene, but there were times when his penis entered the doorway before the rest of him did! Ha! |
 |
As is often the case, it's the walking sequences that show the most. |
 |
No wonder the show ran all those years! |
 |
Supposedly, the friction of riding on a horse sometimes led to tumescence, but it's there in plenty of non-equine scenes as well... |
 |
As Daniel Boone (1964-1970), Fess Parker nearly always wore the same (anachronistic) pants. They were almost like tights. |
 |
Shown here with costar Patricia Blair, he could often be counted on for some bulgery. |
 |
The theme song went, "Daniel Boone was a man, yes a big man..." and they may be right! |
 |
He's seen here with Ed Ames, who once made comedic history on The Tonight Show by hurling an axe at a target in the shape of a man during with the axe landed right in the target's crotch! |
 |
His Indian friend here is guest star William Smith, but look at Mr. Parker! |
 |
Another big man on campus was Leif Erickson of The High Chaparral (1967-1971.) |
 |
You see, it does sometimes pay to watch vintage westerns on TV... |
 |
Doug McClure of The Virginian (1962-1971) was cuteness personified and nearly always wore a snug pair of blue-gray trousers. |
 |
If you can tear yourself away from his pants, I've also included a couple of shots of his handsome face. |
 |
And now we come to the centerpiece of this post, the gentlemen of Laramie (1959-1963) |
 |
Handsome Robert Fuller |
 |
Fuller would later proceed to costar on Emergency! (1972-1979) |
 |
Blue-eyed blond John Smith |
 |
Smith's career was less consistent, especially after 1964's Circus World, during which he and director Henry Hathaway tangled. |
 |
First, let's enjoy this color snapshot of Fuller in contemporary gear! |
 |
As we work our way through the photos from Laramie, there are less of Fuller than of Smith because Fuller's pants were most often dark and less visible. |
 |
Smith, on the other hand, almost invariably wore the same pale, skin-tight trousers that showed off his body to an eye-popping degree. |
 |
Though nothing is the same as actually watching the show (in goggle-eyed awe), you'll see what I mean as we progress. Not every photo will bear a caption. Some pictures need no further explanation! |
 |
This is not a bulge pic, but I thought some of you might be interested in seeing Fuller's Emergency! costar Julie London as a guest on Laramie. Her character was involved with Smith, but did save a kiss for Fuller, too! |
 |
This collage of Fuller being woken up and kicking around in his underwear is a fave! |
 |
The show, centering on the men running a stage coach way station, often depicted them in domestic situations such as this one! |
 |
Seriously?? |
 |
Fuller, abducted by a guest villain, is about to be hung, but I think it's too late. He already is. LOL |
 |
Help me, Jesus. |
 |
The bulk of the shots in this post are from season two, though I suspect the entire run was peppered with tantalizing scenes like this one. |
 |
All along, I intended to end with this beefy shot of Clint Walker, who is in every way my ideal man, but... |
 |
Ultimately, I had to close with one of Hollywood's big guns, John Ireland, who on a 1967 installment of Daniel Boone wiped everybody else out of the picture. |
 |
That first photo in this set doesn't really reveal anything, but look what happens when he twists his frame! |
 |
I really don't know what could top this (in mainstream media anyway), so that's where I will end. Happy hunting everyone! |
