...boxer in a Garden prelim. Out on 52nd Street with J.J., he pleads, "Stop beating me on the head, let me make a living" - and on the second phrase Curtis rubs his thumbs against his forefingers like a cartoon usurer and glances imploringly to heaven. Sidney: such a thespian he is. For Curtis, the performance may not have been career-making, but it was actor-making. It expanded and forever defined what we mean by "Tony Curtis": the slick shtarker, oily and irresistible...

...After this summer, the Screen Actors Guild may worry that its members are no longer needed in Hollywood. But they shouldn't worry-not yet anyway. Flesh-and-blood thespian Sean Hayes blesses Mr. Tinkles-and the audience-with a hilarious effete voice and wicked ad libs, and the movie is better for it. Another promising sign for humans: in Planet of the Apes, opening next month, director Tim Burton creates talking animals the old-fashioned way-by putting actors in monkey suits. As Stanley Kubrick realized more than three decades ago, computers have their place, but so does primitivism...
