@lorrainewands what he means that in the "script for some like it hot" his character in a certain scene was supposed to act like Cary Grant as a gag. it's in the script as well. :D
When his charcater masqueraded as a "wealthy millionaire" in "Some Like It Hot", Tony decided to use a "Cary Grant" impression, that's how much he admired the man. As Cary himself once said, "Everybody wants to be Cary Grant- even I want to be Cary Grant".
I'm still a little sad, knowing that Tony Curtis is gone, but he will always have a special place in my heart for making "Some Like It Hot". Brilliant movie in every way. I didn't realize that he was such a fan of Cary Grant, but he was amazing as the Shell Oil millionaire, Junior with the Cary Grant voice. I wish I had TCM!! I'm definitely going to rent more of Cary and Tony's movies!
@92af Really??? Well ridculous actor or no, he pulled off being a leading man on the big screen for 30 years with great effect and unbelievable charisma which had a profound effect, making him popular with the ladies and inspiring men like Tony Curtis, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and George Clooney!!!
At least now he is with his idol, Cary Grant. Maybe they will entertain all the people who have gone to heaven by making new movies again...
Both Tony Curtis and Cary Grant were great actors, I think however Grant had something that made him that little bit more successful and attractive. RIP both of you, great gentlemen!
0:38 to 0:59.....hehe......that is just to smooth!!!!That's not even fair on C.G.s' part,lol,'cause after those lines,she's totally defenseless.<----kidding.Only a handful of leading men could've pulled off those words without a.)getting a drink splashed in their face b.)slapped or c.)having her get right up & head for the door......................the rest of us guys DARE NOT say anything even remotely close to those words!!
This is Wonderful tribute to Cary! I can't say how much I love him and all his movies! He was so handsome, charming, funny,...and great actor!! Tony is great too, they were so funny and adorable in Operation Petticoat, super comedy!! Oh, I love you my darling:))
The greatest star in Hollywood history in my opinion. It took me a while to realize this. There is simply no role he couldn't pull off. ...Not just pull off though...he absolutely nailed everything he ever did. It was so smooth it fooled some into thinking what he did was easy. He could be a buffoon or suave...didn't matter.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Cary Grant was a damn coward!!! He was born in England and when war broke out he moved to America to avoid being called up. Not a lot of people know that.
@microsoft57 What war would that be? Cary Grant was born in 1904, thus was only 14 years of age when World War I ended in 1918. He came to the US in 1920 with the Robert Pender theatrical troupe, and stayed on after the tour ended. He was making movies in Hollywood by 1932. World War II began with Germany's invasion of Poland Sept. 1, 1939.
@microsoft57 A lot of people dont know that because its not true you idiot. He sent his entire salary for Suspicion to the London relief aid in 1941, and since there were few wars in 1920 I fail to see what war he was avoiding.
What a class act. And to hear Tony Curtis wax sentimental makes it even more poignant and rewarding. I could cry thinking how much I wish he or his likes walked amongst us more nowadays, I really could. I'll bet I'm not alone.
There's no question .. the Greatest Man (on screen) who ever lived. Off screen, I know someone who knew him. Of course, I never met him (I'm 40), so I would need more sources about Grant in "real life." On screen, though, he's the ultimate IDOL. More people - today and in the future - need to view his entire work. He's a great role model for all Men.
I love this dude! He makes me hate moden actors that much more. I wish him and James Stewart would come back as zombie actors, and do a screwball comedy.
Cary Grant was one of the most handsome, charming men to ever grace the big screen. His allure was so effortless, and no-one can replicate the charisma he had.
He was not gay. Don't you think, that had he really wanted to cover it up, if he was gay, he could. Seriously, somebody give me some EVIDENCE that he was a homosexual. I don't believe it.
who gives a f**k if he wa this or that! For me Cary Grant is unique. Watching him in many films when I was younger (and I'm just in my early 40's), he just made me smile aned only now, realise how unique he was.
its very strange, every time i see a video of cary grant there is obamarules, commenting in some disgusting way. so what if he was gay. i hope he was. a better actor than we thought, so convincing as a leading man with all those women. nobody could come out back then. but that does not make him a pedophile! so youre a homophobe. cary grant is out and so are you. if you feel so strongly about it why not gather all your evidence and write an article on it. if not. shut the fuck up, its pathetic
Cary Grant was a homosexual who lived with his lover Rnadolph Scott for twelve years. He was also once arrested having anal sex with a Marine in the men's room of a department store.
oh that's cruelty, saying that to people who woship cary grant!!i can't even say he is a sex symbol because i believe he is above the title....he is class on legs !!!such a charming funny guy!!
and even if it's true ,he never confirmed it so, so respect him!the man is dead let him be!let us have his memory intact!
OH CAMON ...that's cruelty !!saying that to people who worship cary grant..!!the man is a gentleman , i can't even say a sex symbol ..beacuse i think he is above that title...he is such a charming,funny ,polite,perfect gentleman...even if it's truee can't you ignore itt!! i particulary don't believe it ,since it's known that sophia lauren was the great love of his life ...and he is such a male figure!!
It was the divine providence of God that Tony met someone he thought so highly of. I'm glad he did. He thought so much of Cary. Cary was handsome, smooth, debonair--all of the things any guy would want to be.
I watched "Some Like It Hot" this week and Curtis sounded exactly like Cary Grant. I love CG and his movies. They don't give out enough Oscars for comedys and they are just as difficult as drama. Fine tribute. Thank you for posting:D

Cary Grant was and is an icon in cinema.
He filled a vacum in sophisticated comedy which nobody else in cinema has been able to replace. What does that tell you ?! lol
Grant transcended acting .
Oh, and David Thompson the movie critic considers Cary Grant to be the most important actor of all time.
