In Florida, Joe woos Sugar by assuming a second disguise as a millionaire named "Junior", the heir to Shell Oil. An actual millionaire, Osgood Fielding III, becomes enamored of Jerry in his Daphne guise. One night Osgood asks Daphne out to his yacht. Joe convinces Daphne to keep Osgood ashore while he goes on the yacht with Sugar. That night Osgood proposes to Daphne who, in a state of excitement, accepts, believing he can finagle a large settlement from Osgood immediately following their wedding ceremony. Hilarious comedy ensues as the men — or women — try to get out of the mess they’ve gotten themselves into.
“Sweet Smell of Success” will follow at 7 p.m. Press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) has been unable to get his clients a mention in J.J. Hunsecker's (Burt Lancaster) influential newspaper column because he has been unable to make good on his promise to break up the romance between Hunsecker's younger sister Susan (Susan Harrison) and Steve Dallas (Martin Milner), an up-and-coming jazz guitarist. Falco decides to spread false rumors about Dallas in a rival column and then encourages Hunsecker to rescue Dallas's reputation and make Dallas choose between his integrity and owing something to Hunsecker, for whom he has no respect.
The plan works, in a way; Dallas insults Hunsecker, and Susan breaks up with Dallas in order to protect him from her brother. Hunsecker, however, deciding to leave nothing to chance, and against Falco's advice, orders Falco to plant reefers on the musician and have him arrested and roughed up by Harry Kelly, a corrupt police officer.
Osborne and Curtis will conduct Q&A discussions following both shows, specifically relating to each film.
Starring in over 140 major motion pictures, an American icon Tony Curtis first gained attention in a Greenwich Village stage production of "Golden Boy." Not long after his discovery, he was offered a seven year contract by Universal Pictures. In 1948 he headed for California where his screen debut had him dancing with Yvonne de Carlo in Criss Cross (1948). Universal realized it had a rising star.
Curtis first earned top billing rights in The Prince Who Was a Thief (1951). Although under contract with Universal, Paramount cast Tony in the role of Houdini (1953,) which cast him opposite Janet Leigh. It was in 1958 when Curtis and Sidney Poitier starred in Stanley Kramer's social drama The Defiant Ones (1959) which earned both men Academy Award nominations and was among the most acclaimed and profitable films of the year. Riding on the crest of Some Like It Hot, Curtis got to work first hand with his idol Cary Grant in Blake Edward's comedy, Operation Petticoat (1959), another massive hit.
For director Stanley Kubrick, Curtis co-starred in the 1960 epic Spartacus, followed a year later by The Great Impostor. What followed was an acting career that spanned more than four decades and included a long string of mega-blockbusters that earned Curtis the mega-star status he still enjoys today.
