英语词汇tall dark and handsome的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	tall dark and handsome
词源	tall, dark, and handsome. As the description of an attractive man, this cliché can be traced to newspaper descriptions of movie idol Rudolph Valentino in the late 1920s, though Valen- tino was only of average height. Mae West undoubtedly popu- larized the expression in her 1933 film She Done Him Wrong, in which Cary Grant is the object of her desire.
