It was directed by Carol Reed who also did The Thin Man and it has some amazing shots.
Err, The Third Man, I think. Also Odd Man Out which is devestating.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Both Tony and Burt were rumored to be happily bi, so it's interesting that they felt comfortable to let the subtext out.
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:
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.
eta: 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!
