As everyone knows, Tony Curtis played at least 65% of Some Like It Hot in drag and speaking in a woman’s voice. What’s less widely known is that on a special edition DVD interview Curtis admitted he couldn’t quite make his Josephine voice sound right so another guy dubbed him. The guy, according to co-screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond, was actor-singer Paul Frees. You’d think that this very significant information would would be in Taschen’s SLIH coffee-table book, but it’s not.
