  11. Caught up on some retro film & TV over Xmas, amazing to see a middle-aged Tony Curtis doing what looks like pretty dangerous stunt work himself! The shots where you can see his face are him, and this is pre-CGI so there aren't any safety wires or crash mats being hidden. Insurance etc would never allow this today 😱

    Curtis wasn't particularly known as an action hero, but in his younger days he was in a film about a trapeze artist, perhaps he picked up some skills there and kept in shape?

    (This clip is from a series called "The Persuaders" from 1971)

    Two worlds collide when Lord Brett Sinclair, a titled British man, and Danny Wilde, a Bronx-raised, self-made American, reluctantly join forces to right wrongs and protect the innocent.

  17. Some of this evening's viewing: classic, old school coolness with The Persuaders. I love that the pair of them were so well known the opening credits only used their surnames, as if to say "you know these guys".

  19. Rewatching The Persuaders episode, 'Five Miles to Midnight'. I think weʼre at the location where Tony Curtis calls Joan Collins a c*** behind the scenes. #ThePersuaders #TV #50shadesofgrade

  21. "I just read Anand's new book The Persuaders [Anand Giridharadas: thepersuadersbook.com/]. He evinces or quotes a theory of messaging that says; you should start with an appeal to shared values, then identify a problem... then identify a villain."

  23. Watching The Persuaders, 'The Time and the Place'. Great political episode directed by Roger Moore himself. Ian Hendry makes a good villain. #ThePersuaders #50ShadesofGrade #retro #TV #AmicalementVotre #DieZwei

  27. Hey Internet. I…I think I’m a fan of The Persuaders! now. I’m blaming this entirely on the #bondfinger podcast. Nice job lads. #thepersuaders

  29. I wonder if Sir Roger Moore only told the story about Bernie Schwartz’s behaviour toward Joan Collins to see how many times he could get the word c*** into two pages in his autobiography. #rogermoore #thepersuaders #TV #ITC #50shadesofgrade #tonycurtis
