On June 3 1925 Tony Curtis was born... so the theme for today are films with Tony Curtis-enjoy!

1 Some Like it Hot (1959) Director: Billy Wilder
Film about two men (Jack Lemon & Tony Curtis) who join an all girl band disguised as women and encounter a sultry singer (Marilyn Monroe)-Lemon, Curtis and Monroe are all charming in their roles; Lemon was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal...

2 Sweet Smell of Success (1957) Director: Alexander Mackendrick
Tells the story of an unethical Broadway columnist (Burt Lancaster) who convinces a press agent (Tony Curtis) to break up a romance...

3 Spartacus (1960) Director: Stanley Kubrick/Anthony Mann
Movie about the slave Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) who leads a revolt against the Roman Empire- Peter Ustinov won an Oscar for his role as Lentulus Batiatus...

4 The Boston Strangler (1968) Director Richard Fleischer
Perfectly captures the panic that crippled a city during the reign of terror by the man known as the Boston Strangler... Tony Curtis is great in his portrayal.

As I have seen only a select few from the above list (Some Like it Hot & The Boston Strangler) I look forward to your feedback...enjoy!
