Star of Spartacus (in a brooklyn accent) and Some like it Hot, passes away peacefully at home.

He made some entertaining films in his heyday.

His daughter was certainly a looker in Trading Places. :shock:

RIP

Aye, just noticed that. He made some classic movies (proper classics too not just great films). My favourite Curtis movie was The Sweet Smell Of Success a late film noir from 1957 co-starring Burt Lancaster as a pure evil megalomaniac. That was the first film Curtis took on a really meaty role. MOVIE TRIVIA: TSSOS was directed by Scotland's finest ever director Alexander Mackendrick. The same guy that directed Whisky Galore!

RIP TC

Alexander MacKendrick directed the best British film ever made, The Ladykillers.
 
I hope the show the Great Race on telly as a gesture.

There is also a Hollywood legend that Edwards wanted to get the pie fight in one master shot, then go pack and pick up the close-ups. This plan is said to have failed because, with Tony Curtis immaculate after having walked about two-thirds of the way down the long bakery table, the rest of the cast couldn't resist any longer and bombarded him with about two dozen pies, transforming The Great Leslie into an unrecognizable mess.

Great movie with a cast to die for AM also made The Man In The White Suit at Ealing Studios which was a very funny surreal political take on consumerism. Radical stuff for the 50s.

Yep. As a kid got to stay up late on a Friday night for it. My da used to joke that Roger Moore got his car from a dealer he knew in Orkney. (There was a reason in the show but if you can figure that one out yer a genius.)
