30 Dec The Outsider
The Outsider, WWII Movie starring Tony Curtis
(1961) I didn’t realize it at first … the “outsider” was Ira Hayes, the native American who joined the Marines and became one of the immortalized flag bearers on Iwo Jima.
I first learned about Ira from Flags of our Fathers. He never adjusted to the fame forced upon him.
Tony Curtis did an excellent job. I thought he looked oh so young and was surprised when I learned that The Outsider was filmed two years after Some Like it Hot.
Watch movie clips on the Turner Classic Movies website.
