I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
Film Review July 20, 2007
by Toddy Burton
Description: Newest Adam Sandler comedy Chuck & Larry is a movie full of weak moments, contrived to the point of painful, that quickly turns from wild farce to gay-agenda movie.
by Toddy Burton
"...Starring: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Dan Aykroyd, Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi, Richard Chamberlain, Lance Bass, Dave Matthews, Rob Schneider and Nick Swardson. There was a time when “ladies man” meant Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot, seducing secretaries with his eyes and his wit..."

"...Really, Mr. Mamet? Have you no pithier way of precursing a "feh" feeling for Laurence Olivier and the uncommon claim that Tony Curtis is the better actor? Because with language like that, you're not closing, or convincing, anybody...."

Connie and Carla
Film Review April 23, 2004
by Kimberley Jones
Description: Witnessing a mob hit can be a real drag.
by Kimberley Jones
"...She – and this is meant entirely as a compliment – makes a smashing drag queen. Vardalos, however, never really commits to the role; her drag face and fashion sense could just as easily be confused for Jersey mallrat, and her biggest contribution to the role is dropping her voice to a husky, Beavis (or is it Butt-head?) "huh-huh." Vardalos gives herself the Tony Curtis subplot of falling for a guy (Duchovny) who wants to fall back, were she not (supposedly) a guy, too, but all the snap and subversiveness of the original subplot is lost here..."
Turning Tricks With The Amazing Ray
Arts Story September 5, 2003
by Robert Faires
Description: With nothing up his sleeve, Esther's Follies resident magic man Ray Anderson pulls wonder -- and laughter -- out of thin air.
"...On the contrary, he's just debuted the escape act described above and is hard at work imagining a new original illusion for the Follies. Magic may be Anderson's livelihood, but clearly for him it's not just a job, it's an adventure.No Hogwarts in Victoria Anderson has been under magic's spell since an early age, and, unlikely as it may sound, Tony Curtis is to blame..."
The In-Laws
Film Review May 23, 2003
by Marc Savlov
Description: Mention Arthur Hiller’s 1979 film The In-Laws to people of a certain age, and you’ll likely get to see otherwise sane folk run around the room yelling, "Serpentine! Serpentine!" –...
by Marc Savlov
"...Fleming roots his film in action-movie conventions; there are more explosions and high-wire stunts in one act of the remake than in the whole of Hiller’s film. As mincing madman Thibodoux, Suchet is the most memorable thing on screen, part Nathan Lane and part Some Like It Hot-era Tony Curtis..."

Book Reviews
Books Review March 10, 2000
by Raoul Hernandez
"...That's page "xi" of Conversations with Wilder, opposite a picture of the 93-year-old Wilder, perhaps the oldest living director (according to the man himself) and one of the uncontested immortals of 20th-century cinema. If you can stop the reels of your imagination after that and put down this priceless audience with a man who has made this world a better, richer place, then you never cried tears of laughter watching Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in drag..."

Play it to the Bone

by Marjorie Baumgarten
"...Not only are the fight scenes well-filmed, but the social aura surrounding the scene is especially on point. Robert Wager as the hotel owner, along with Tom Sizemore, Jack Carter, and Richard Masur as the promoters, and a host of stars (Rod Stewart, Kevin Costner, James Woods, Tony Curtis) in cameos as themselves add some of the delicious flavor that the movie is otherwise begging for..."

The Man With Susan's Plan
Screens Story June 24, 1999
by Marc Savlov
"...Out of that office I made movies for Warner Bros., Disney, Paramount, PolyGram, and then one day I got a call from Sid Sheinberg, who said, "I want you to do me a favor." It turned out that MCA in the Fifties had all these anthology television series like General Electric, Heinz 57 Playhouse, Jane Wyman Presents, and so on, and they were usually half-hour, black-and-white-film shows, and Sid, who now owned them, was basically wanting to know how he could make money with them. The problem was that most of it was melodrama, most of it was not all that good, but it featured all these terrific actors: Gloria Swanson, Groucho Marx, Abbott and Costello, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Tony Curtis, Steve McQueen, Bob Redford ....."

Under the Big Top

"...What is it with daring young men and flying trapezes? In 1956's Trapeze (9:45pm), the old trapeze star (Burt Lancaster) is being upstaged by his protégé (Tony Curtis) but things don't get really tense until the young female tumbler (Gina Lollabrigida) shows up. None of the three really have to do a whole lot except look good, and they do that well..."

The Job Goes on Forever
Screens Story February 28, 1997
"...Back then, he was a fledgling A&R scout for Warner Bros.
Records, but over the next four years he would work for indie film guru John
Pierson's completion fund, Islet, on films such as Just Another Girl on the
I.R.T.; earn a Master's degree at the Royal College of Art in London, where
he produced seven shorts, including the last film made by Derek Jarman; and
read for Miramax, recommending, among other green-lightable projects, a script
based on a little-known novel called The English Patient and the Stevie
Ray Vaughan bio Caught in the Crossfire by Joe Nick Patoski and Bill
Crawford (whose option was recently picked up by the studio for a second time).
Then, in early 1995, Perell co-founded Eureka Pictures, and, ever since, he's
produced low-budget indies of the sort Hollywood has taken to co-opting. To
date, his films include: The Myth of Fingerprints, which debuted at this
year's Sundance Film Festival and opens across the country in September; the
forthcoming Louis and Frank, directed by Alexandre Rockwell and starring
Rosie Perez, Steve Buscemi, and Tony Curtis; and Breathing Room, a
romantic comedy that opens Friday at the Texas Union Theatre...."
