1. A fitting tribute to T.C.

There's no Some Like It Hot or Spartacus (Hey, nothing like a little Bronx accent to contrast with Lord Olivier's plummy tones), but the line-up is very generous and varied: The Sweet Smell of Success, Trapeze, Operation Petticoat, and of course The Defiant Ones.

2. Thanks for those pics, CBH!

My favorite Tony Curtis pic was 'Some Like It Hot'-- to me he was absolute perfection in that! :hi:
