by Kurt LoderName this movie: An ace CIA operative, condemned as a rogue and now hunted by the Company, bashes and crashes his way through colorful foreign settings, pursued by heavily armed hit men, while back at Langley headquarters an inscrutable deputy director and one of his top lieutenants are arousing the...

One of the 1950s icons still out there – Tony Curtis.
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, No Breast Exams for Mama
I took Jim Treacher's droll ditty and made it into a video. My next project is going to be First Lady Charm School. Any suggestions? No butts or belts please.
Whoa! Serious Hotness Alert!
Tony Curtis, (with NY accent): "Yonder lies my fawddah's castle."
Hey, match me, Tony…

Google steals my line and says, "Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"

A twilight intervention!

"Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"
Just saw Me and Orson Welles. Incredible from start to finish.
They're doing the play Julius Ceasar with Ceasar and his men dressed as Fascists. (takes place in the early 30's) Plus Welles gives a few quick Rand-esqe speeches. He was a genius.
A must see.
wasn't it-
'Yonder lies da castle of my faddah da Caliph'?
amidst the tough times we are in and tougher ones coming this statement…
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
May all who visit this site- and their loved ones around the world- share in the love of family and the Bounty of Nature's good graces…
Ay, it's Bernie Schwartz! Long time no see, Bernie! How's tricks?
Thanks and same to you and yours Brother.
In what fantasy world is that pic #1 on Google images under her name? I looked at 10 pages of pics and never saw it once with 'safe search' off.
Ditto that.
you are both too kind. May God bless…
Liberation theology seminary?
Wasn't that Charleton Heston?
'Taylor' is posting that line on different web sites today. I dunno why. Did I miss the joke?
Mr. Scratch – One minute he is walking around with his nose in the air and his chin tilted up like Mussolini, the next minute he's taking the opportunity to bow and shake and scrape to various leaders of nations.
What is with this guy?
Tony Curtis. Thank you, Sir, for all the enjoyable hours you have given me in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I like TC in HOUDINI. It's not a 'classic', but it is majorly entertaining in color and with Janet Leigh in it, too……..and good staging of the 'water torture' trick…..and his assistant with the ax. And it kind of gives you the feel of what the best of Vaudeville was about.
Haha – from a comment on the IMDB- I don't know about his percentages, but the guy is right!
"I was pleasantly surprised to discover that although the movie is 80% bs, it is thoroughly entertaining bs. All Hollywood bios have to be taken with a grain of salt, but if you can suspend your disbelief and put the actual life of Harry Houdini in the back of your mind for two hours, you will readily succumb to the charm of the charismatic Curtis and entrancing Janet Leigh."
He was great in The Black Shield of Falworth. Brooklyn accent and all……
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm hoping a plane this afternoon to spend the holiday with my Siblings, folks and the strange foreign exchange student's they're hosting. At least the food is good!
DR. LAURA JOKE FEST TODAY – NOW HILARIOUS!
No matter what you may think of DR LAURA, each year on the day before THANKSGIVING she goes off-format to an all joke show where people call in with their jokes – and many of them are frigging hilarious!
http://www.kfwb.com/
Just click on listen.
Some of these joke are brutally funny….and she'll take jokes from little kids, too, so you can hear the jokes you were telling 30 – 60 years ago.
Starts at noon in Los Angeles

At the mention of Tony Curtis, my spouse does the profile, puckering the lips like Tony Curtis did in "Some Like it Hot".
For years I just thought it was the effect of lipstick that made him look like he was puckering.
Later I found out he did it on purpose, because his mother and sister puckered their lips in a ladylike fashion.
Imagine them all at the dinner table.
lol!!! out loud in a library!
he's ~multi-tasking~!
what do you call a steer with no legs?
Ground beef!

Warship captain fighting two other ships tells first mate to go below and get his red shirt so no one will know if he has been shot. First mate then tells him that there are now 3 more ships advancing on them. Captain tells him to bring up his brown pants, too. LOL!!!!
"The Great Race" , Jack Lemmon is great and T.C. is suave and cool and Natalie "Attired" Wood is cute and fabulous!
BEST PIE FIGHT EVER!
Amen.
It's time to remember the people that MADE this country – not the "johnny-come-latelys" looking to suck the marrow out of the bones of our country and move on, like back to Pakistan or Afganistan or India or Indonesia or … LET US KILL THE EVIL OF "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" NOW!
it is dying in front of your eyes, my friend…
I'm reminded of the time I saw Spartacus after it had been colorized and additional footage added.
Cassius (I think) has purchased Tony's character from the gladiator school, and is giving him the speech about how some men like oysters, while others like snails, and some men prefer both oysters and snails.
The way I would have done the scene (I'm a comedian) was Cassius turns around and sees Curtis running as fast as he can leaving a trail of dust.
Bummer, doing research I found he never said it. Another Hollywood Legend up in smoke.
Big, funny film from my youth. Cars – great, Pie fight – greater, Natalie Wood in her 1900's underthings – priceless. Made my 12 y/o heart skip a beat.
Weakest year for DR LAURA joke show ever. So few desk pounders. I blame Obama – Spreader of Grief and Anti-Merriment.
When I was young I thought Janet was the most beautiful woman in the world and Tony the luckiest guy.
still funny as all get out!
I think he believes he is better than most, or even all, other Americans, but because he's the leader of us inferior Americans, he feels inferior to other leaders.
haha – good one – like Slim Pickens in Flim Flam Man!
I've often daydreamed about making a movie with an all-star cast, but using their actual names. Imagine Bernard Schwartz, Norma-Jean Baker, Benjamin Kubelski, Marion Morrison, Archie Leach, and other such famous folks?
With a cast like that, I have no idea what the script would look like, but hey…
