I admit it - I love Tony Randall. Okay, not Cary Grant love, but love nonetheless!
The minute Tony Randall walks onto a scene, the entire movie is elevated. He is a delight, a smile, the guy you are always happy to see. Come on - didn't he really deserve Doris much more than Rock?
So, what is it about the wonderful Mr. Randall?
Well, for one thing, he's kinda cute in a non-Rock Hudson-ish puppy dog kind of way.
Don't you think?
Next, he speaks the American version of the King's English all the while acting the buffoon.
Kind of an irresistible combination, no?
He was a fine actor, a fine comedian and best of all, a terrific supporting actor who always made his co-stars look better.

| What a trio of pros - Rock, Doris and Tony |

| Giving MM some great support in "Let's Make Love" |
But, he could play the leading man when called upon.
 |
| Tony with Debbie Reynolds in "The Mating Game" - they were so cute! |
 |
| Tony and Jayne Mansfield in "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" |
 |
| Barbara Eden's love interest, not "Master" in "The Brass Bottle" |

| 7 Tony Randalls - my favorite TR film! |
He wore plaids, tweeds and houndstooth with great flair!
I love his humor, his wit, his charm and most of all, that twinkle in his eye. Not bad for a guy from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
It was so much fun to see him in his last film, 2003's "Down With Love," which was a homage to those Doris-Rock-Tony films of the 60s.
Thanks for everything,Tony (including the definitive Felix Unger). Now, shouldn't he have gotten Doris at least once?
