Featured review
His silent world
In one of his roles on the way up Tony Curtis played a deaf mute killer without
a line of dialog in Johnny Stool Pigeon. Someone at Universal must have remembered that performance when Flesh And Fury was cast. Tony Curtis shows
some real acting chops in this one conveying all kinds of emotions with very few
words.
Curtis plays a deaf mute boxer who was doing club dates to earn some dollars. One night after flattening an opponent he makes two acquaintances. One is fight manager Wallace Ford who signs him up, The other is brassy dame Jan Sterling who takes over all kind of other management of him. He may be a deaf mute, but he's Tony Curtis.
But Curtis is introduced to a different world when magazine writer Mona Freeman comes to his camp. She's from real society and Curtis gets a taste of thar, but he's terrified of not being able to fit in.
Curtis and Freeman do well, but Jan Sterling is the one you'll remember from Flesh And Fury. She gets one well deserved comeuppance in the end. Kudos also go to Wallace Ford for his work as the sympathetic and square boxing manager.
Flesh And Fury is a must for fans of Tony Curtis and Jan Sterling.
