I agree Bond is the pick for boomers and later generations.  For my parents and grandparents, Fred Astaire was the epitome of debonair.

@Daddydavek, indeed he was. I really only saw him in The Towering Inferno, which was full of the celebrities of the day.  I was into disaster movies a lot when I was younger.

Fred Astaire and Cary Grant were the two most debonair leading men of their generation.  Their understudies were Gene Kelly and Rock Hudson, who were both classy in their own right, but more down-to-earth, ordinary-Joe types.
