Considering Pat O'Conner's comments on historical English & American accents in her last appearance on this show, I wonder if Tony Curtis's famed delivery of the line "Yondah lies da castle of my faddah" (as a prince, I think) was more authentic than the people who put it down realize!
I know who Tony Curtis is and have enjoyed his movies and personae which is "old hollywood" He is a chronicler of a bygone era. We should celebrate our past as well as our present. Where are the Tony Curtis's, Paul Newmans, Cary Grants of the present day? The current crop of "talent" is not substantial enough for me.
Great interview--
I want to read the book,
think of what Howard
would have done with Tony
Tony gives out with the info on May West's daily
enema routine and Lennie doesn't bat an
eyebrow.....was he keeping a straight face
for all of this.
