A window on the personal life and career of Tony Curtis, a Hollywood icon who captured the imaginations of millions of viewers of all ages, over nearly five decades. An actor of multifaceted talent, Curtis is remembered for his great passion and energy. Through one of the actor’s most heartfelt interviews, alongside the words of his friends and collaborators—Hugh Hefner, Debbie Reynolds, Piper Laurie, Theresa Russell, Nehemiah Persoff, and Mamie Van Doren—an impression emerges of a most charismatic man. No simple biography, this documentary draws on the insights of psychologist Glenn Wilson and biographer Allan Hunter to dissect the concept of celebrity and its often-devastating effect on the lives of so many big-screen stars.
