Tony RIP

Sad news of the death of Tony Curtis, aged 85.



He was a bit of a looker back in the day (this was before it was compulsory for male slebs to have a prominent abdominal six-pack).



He worked with many of the 20th century's Screen Greats, including Marilyn Monroe and, of course, Larry Olivier in 1960's Spartacus, where Tony played the slavish object of lust for Larry's predatory homosexual.

But even if he had made no other movies, Tony Curtis would be celebrated on here for his role in a film made the year before:



Some Like it Hot is a deleriously funny film, thanks in no small measure to Tony Curtis' wonderful pout. And he had pretty decent legs, too.
