After the highly anticipated first round of the 40's bracket of the classic movie tournament kicked off, 7 of the 8 matches all had the top seeds roll to blowout victories. With the lone exception of 4th seed Spencer Tracy losing to 13th seed Robert Montgomery 31-24.Top seed had the biggest margin of victory as he rolled over Robert Taylor 51-6. Truth be told I was won of the people who voted for Montgomery. But it's still a shock to see Tracy knocked out after the first round. Here are all the scores from the just completed first round of the 40's bracket.
CARY GRANT 51
ROBERT TAYLOR 6
BING CROSBY 15
JOEL MCCREA 36
SPENCER TRACY 24
ROBERT MONTGOMERY 31

HUMPHREY BOGART 43
GENE KELLY 14

I had 6 of these matches correct. I was upset on the Spencer Tracy match and the Fonda/Ladd match. Still pulling for Coop to take this bracket!!
I don't know Patti. I think I will have to go with Robert Montgomery over Coop in this round. Sorry.
