He was an icon while I was growing up. Very sad.

As I was looking through the DVDs and meager BD collection I noticed a copy of "The Vikings" on DVD. Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, Earnest Borgnine. So, in honor of TC, I put it in the drawer and pushed the play button. All in all I thought it was an entertaining trip back into the dark ages. Vikings drinking mead and throwing axes around their great hall. Some very fun scenes.

Keep in mind that this is --not-- that movie with his infamous line; "yonda lies da castle of my fawda".

By this movie his accent is slightly better suited to the character he plays. It's still there, though. In spite of his modest acting talent TC delivers a believable performance in this film. And Janet Leigh never looked more fetching.

I wonder if there is anyone still alive that once kissed Marilyn Monroe. In an interview their scene in "Some Like it Hot" came up and he described it "like eating a ripe peach". Ummmmm...peaches!

Oh yes. But lately he was just a parody of himself. Sad.

  - One didn't go to the Playboy mansion for "wisdom." He made it to 85. When you hit - tinear 11:44:23 09/30/10 (4)
    86, return and remind us how unwise Tony was.

    - Remind us... what was a good movie he made since 1959? - Victor Khomenko 12:52:40 09/30/10 (1)
      And even there his Jack Lemmon dominated.
