Synopsis

Tony Curtis, the man who influenced Elvis Presley and James Dean, was one of the very first teen idols and one of the last real movie stars. From his difficult upbringing in the Bronx to his unprecedented fame (Spartacus, Some Like It Hot) and infamous way with women, this documentary explores the man’s rebellious demeanor, his struggle as a Jew in Hollywood, his difficult childhood, the brief love affair with Marilyn Monroe, his failed marriages, his courageous stance to break the color barrier with The Defiant Ones (the film that earned him an Oscar Nomination) and his entire six decade career.
