1. Antoninus
2. bath scene in which the Roman patrician and general Crassus (Olivier) attempts to seduce his slave Antoninus using the analogy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy) of "eating oysters" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunnilingus) and "eating snails" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellatio) to express his opinion that sexual preference is a matter of taste rather than morality.
3. because he was a fabulous actor and brought life to many roles over his time.

it turns out there were 5 scenes that were cut :/ and restored in the 1991 version :/
1. Who did Tony Curtis play and, Antoninus
2. What controversial scene was initially cut out of the film, but restored in 1991? a bath scene in which the Roman patrician and general Crassus attempts to seduce his slave Antoninus using the analogy of "eating oysters" and "eating snails" to express his opinion that sexual preference is a matter of taste rather than morality.
3. Of course, the tie breaker - why was Tony Curtis so cool? http://handson.provocateuse.com/images/photos/tony_curtis_01.jpg << Need i say anything?

3. Of course, the tie breaker he had not say much
1. Antoninus
2. the snails and oysters scene,
3. He was so cool because...he was Tony Curtis, what more can you say!!
:)
1) Antoninus
2) That'd be the oysters n snails scene, alluding to swinging both ways
3) He rose from nothing, the son of immigrants to become a worldwide household name with a fabulous talent. Plus he made dressing like a woman more acceptable albeit in a comic role (and no, my mrs clothes dont fit me)
1. Antoninus
2. The 1967 release had 23 minutes removed from it's 1960 release. The 1991 version had that added plus an additional 14 minutes that had been cut from the original release. These included several battle scenes plus the infamous bath scene in which the Roman patrician and general Crassus attempts to seduce his slave Antoninus using the analogy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy) of "eating oysters" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunnilingus) and "eating snails" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellatio) to express his opinion that sexual preference is a matter of taste rather than morality.
3. He was cool simply because of his remarkable range of acting skills. Acting in over 100 films plus further television series, he's played roles from slaves to serial killers, comedic as well as series roles. In fact he was the highest grossing star at the box office through out the 1950s. The term 'legend' is thrown about too easily these days, but Tony Curtis was a true 'LEGEND'.

2. What controversial scene was initially cut out of the film, but restored in 1991? Twas the bath scene. Roman patrician and general Crassus attempts to seduce his slave Antoninus using the analogy of eating oysters and snails to express his opinion that sexual preference is a matter of taste rather than morality.
3. Of course, the tie breaker - why was Tony Curtis so cool?
Because he was such a versatile actor he appeared in over 100 films varying from fabulously funny comedies to gritty dramas. A very charismatic man who will be sadly missed. :cry

1. Antoninus
2. bath scene with snails...

1. Antoninus
2. bath scene in which the Roman patrician and general Crassus (Olivier) attempts to seduce his slave Antoninus using the analogy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy) of "eating oysters" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunnilingus) and "eating snails" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellatio) to express his opinion that sexual preference is a matter of taste rather than morality.
3. He was an icon - one of his life mantras was sooo cool.... Curtis once said, "I wouldn't be seen dead with a woman old enough to be my wife" and, sure enough, his sixth wife, Jill VandenBurg, was 45 years younger than him
PPS... "... and so is my wife!"
1 - Antoninus
2 - a bath scene in which the Roman patrician and general Crassus attempts to seduce his slave Antoninus using the analogy of "eating oysters" and "eating snails" to express his opinion that sexual preference is a matter of taste rather than morality.

1. Antoninus
2. Seems like the scene with Marcus Licinius Crassus (yeah I know his name...) explaining about which way he swings. This scene contains the literary use of snails and oysters. Personally I prefer Oysters - never tried snails.
3. He helped father Jamie Lee Curtis? :D

1) Antoninus
2) Oysters and snails scene
3) Great actor who starred in over 100 films and who could do serious, comedy and pretty much anything inbetween
RIP.
1. Antoninus
2. The bathhouse scene as well as a few battles.
3. Hmm, how about Houdini, Operation Petticoat, The Boston Strangler, The Great Race, Monte Carlo or Bust! or The Persuaders! as well as those others already mentioned. He was a great talent, funny or sincere when needed.

1. Antoninus.
2. The snails and oysters scene.
3. He was cool because he fathered Jamie lee Curtis without whom we wouldn't have the films Halloween, The Fog and Prom Night!
Oh and he rolled with the Rat Pack...which is the very definition of cool.
1) Antoninus
2) The oysters n snails scene, suggesting sexual preference was taste not good morals
3) His genes produced Jamie Lee Curtis (fantastic natural pair :) )

1) Antoninus
2) A bath scene where he sexually seduces his slave.
3) Because he had a bath.
1. Antoninus
2. The bath scene? - scenes of Roman decadence and gluttony the controversial, homo-erotic bath scene in which bisexual Roman patrician Marcus Licinius Crassus (Laurence Olivier) questions young slave Antoninus (Tony Curtis) about his gender/sexual preferences ("Do you eat oysters?...Do you eat snails?....My taste includes both snails and oysters")
3. Curtis enjoyed a close friendship with Hollywood’s “Rat Pack,” a group of entertainers which included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford. Some sources even cite Curtis as an “honorary member.”
Cool enough for you?
1. Antoninus
2. A bath scene in which the Roman patrician and general Crassus attempts to seduce his slave Antoninus using the analogy of "eating oysters" and "eating snails" to express his opinion that sexual preference is a matter of taste rather than morality.
3. Tony was cool because he posed nude for Vanity Fair for his 80th birthday!:lol:
1. Antonius
2. The bath scene
3. Mad as a badger but a gent with it. He could act, he could sing and he loved the ladies. RIP big man.
1. Antoninus
2. The bath scene where he sexually seduces his slave to find out his gender preferences
3. On-screen with Tony you never knew what to expect, he refused to play it safe, took on a vast array of characters and still made a big impact performance. Off-screen he had relationships with a few famous actresses including Marilyn Monroe; he is dead cool!
1) antoninus
2) oysters and snails sence
3) he once said "I wouldn't be seen dead with a woman old enough to be my wife" brilliant quote :D

1. Antoninus
2. The bath scene using the old Oysters and Snails analogy.

klosed ;D
Closed! give me a few mins to read through!
Yes, he played Antonius in Spartacus and had that creepy bath with Lord Olivier. Did you know that it was Anthony Hopkins dubbing for Olivier in that scene?
3. Tony was cool because he posed nude for Vanity Fair for his 80th birthday!:lol:
I think Clemos wins that one because I had no idea he did this so I had to look it up... now thats impressive :D
Congrats Clemos & no I didn't know it was Anthony Hopkins. Awesome film though & an actor that will be sorely missed.
