The greatest movie stars are – and always have been – what they are because they look the way they do: faces uniquely individual and instantly memorable. However, this brilliant little animated film by Philip Scott Johnson, suggests that there is less to separate the gods of the silver screen from one another than we might have supposed...

My score was an embarrassing 15. Often I was just figuring out a face when it morphed into another one before my brain could dredge up the name. (No trouble with Newman and Redford... no surprise there!)
That was amazing to watch!
Some of the morphs were more interesting than the actual faces! Half way between Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman for instance makes for an absolute dream! Showing my age by the moment in the film when I was most able to recognise the faces!
What a great video compilation! Some very handsome some very beautiful and some quite average looking guys! I never thought Fred Astaire was handsome though he certainly knew how to dance! Some too perfect like George Clooney! A bit of imperfection is more attractive I think!
I'm with all three of you on your respective points.
Wobble: Have tried to reach you by texts and e-mails. Did you ever receive a package from me?
Everybody... except Fredric March... Is there a prize? :)
Managed about 61 - it's a terrific compilation.
