Except that the subtext between the two men is so thick you could cut it with a knife -- far closer to text than you'd expect for 1956.
Oh yeah, it's gay as hell. Both Tony and Burt were rumored to be happily bi, so it's interesting that they felt comfortable to let the subtext out. It was directed by Carol Reed who also did
The Thin Man
and it has some amazing shots. Very innovative use of the camera up in the rigging. As I recall, Madonna modeled the costumes for one of her tours on the circus wear of Gina in Trapeze.

Err, The Third Man, I think. Also Odd Man Out which is devestating.
Curtis also ruled in SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS and THE GREAT RACE.
True dat.

Oops. You're right. Slip of the brain.

Have another martini. Nick and Nora would approve.
Or possibly wrestle the glass out of your hand and drink it themselves.

More than rumors, at least for Tony. He's acknowledged that, during his early years in Hollywood, he didn't worry too much about the gender of his bedmates.
My favorite Tony Curtis story: [link]
Probably not safe for playing loud on your work speakers.
My favorite Tony Curtis story:
Lili Munster never had it so good!
Though maybe that's why Sondheim wrote "I'm Still Here" for her.
My favorite Yvonne DeCarlo movie is her film noir with Burt Lancaster,
Criss Cross.
Excellent noir.

Ooooh, check it out. That's Tony Curtis dancing with Yvonne in Criss Cross. They probably did the fucking that very night. Note the Anchormanesque jazz flute!
