Michael Hardner Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Looking over his career, I'm actually stunned at the smallness of the pictures he was in. Maybe he didn't know how to pick scripts, but his star power seems to outshine the actual movies he did. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
August1991 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Yonda lies the castle of my fodda, the ca-leef." The fan mail started almost immediately, and the studio quickly cast him – and miscast him – in a string of costume pictures like “Son of Ali Baba,” with its much-remembered, much-misquoted line, “Dis is duh palace ah my fadda, an’ yonda lies duh Valley ah duh Sun.” Link Quote

Sure... but in terms of film history... small. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
DogOnPorch Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Sure... but in terms of film history... small. In your opinion... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Michael Hardner Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 In your opinion... Well, I guess... I count only a few historically important films - Some Like It Hot, and Spartacus ... um... what else ? You tell me. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
M.Dancer Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Posted October 1, 2010 Well, I guess... I count only a few historically important films - Some Like It Hot, and Spartacus ... um... what else ?

Michael Hardner Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Boston Strangler, Some like it hot. There's four... well, three if you don't count Some Like It Hot twice... Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
Michael Hardner Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Boston Strangler, Some like it hot. And... I don't know... but Boston Strangler may not have stood the test of time. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
DogOnPorch Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Well, I guess... I count only a few historically important films - Some Like It Hot, and Spartacus ... um... what else ? You tell me. I take it you weren't around for the 1960s... The Defiant Ones certainly ranks up there as a movie great. Other notables besides his wonderful Blake Edwards comedies would be... Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came Sex and the Single Girl The Boston Strangler Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies Keep in mind, too, that Tony Curtis was a studio contract actor for a good chunk of his career. Not much control over what movies he made. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_system Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Michael Hardner Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies That one I've seen. Wish I hadn't. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
DogOnPorch Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 That one I've seen. Wish I hadn't. Well then, Tony's death must have come as good news. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Michael Hardner Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Well then, Tony's death must have come as good news. I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Some Like It Hot was great, and you can't beat Billy Wilder. Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
DogOnPorch Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Some Like It Hot was great, and you can't beat Billy Wilder. Seriously...nobody is claiming Tony Curtis was the greatest actor ever. Your input here isn't needed. Between your stubborn necessity to let everyone know your damn opinion on everything and wyly's insistance that nuclear weapons are a normal occurance at parades, I truly am ready for the weekend.
