Amazon.es:Opiniones de clientes: The Great Impostor by Tony Curtis

I am a great Tony Curtis fan, but had never heard of this film, which was a real treat. TC plays a man who assumes various identities, ranging from prison warden to aspiring monk, in a quest for a meaningful life. He is no con artist; merely someone who seeks an extraordinary life. His father was something of a dreamer and so is he.

It is an interesting premise, which is dealt with in an intelligent manner. Tony Curtis is excellent and provides a very nuanced performance. He is supported by a number of other excellent actors, including Raymond Massey playing the abbott.

This is a must for every Tony Curtis fan as well as those looking for an unusual drama that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

An Enjoyable Schtick About a Real-Life Con Artist, Similar to "Catch Me if You Can"

"The Great Impostor" is quintessential Tony Curtis. Curtis was never an exceptional screen actor but a decent one, probably more for his good looks and charisma than his ability to become different people. He is in the category of what I call "charisma actors". (I would include Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the same category.) Charisma actors are talented and can be very convincing given the right role. And this was the right role for Curtis.

"The Great Imposter" tells the true story of Ferdinand Waldo Demara (Curtis) who was chronicled in a novelistic book of the same name written by Robert Crighton (who also wrote "The Secret of Santa Vittoria"). Demara assumed different identities, such as a monk, a sheriff's deputy, and notably, a prison warden, usually without the expected credentials. Probably the exploit he is most known for which brought him both recognition but exposed his chicanery was becoming a ship's surgeon for the Canadian military during the civil war in Korea. And he didn't have a medical degree!

Curtis was perfect casting as Demara. He makes his character fun and likeable. The real Demara was somewhat heavy-set, unlike Curtis. However, Curtis captures the essence of Demara's likability which was probably the reason for his success. The real Demara found ways of inserting himself to situations without alienating or threatening those already there. While the movie exaggerates a little bit the outcomes of some of Demara's ventures, it's a fun and thoroughly entertaining film. Not one which will go down in the annals of the greatest movies ever made, but it holds its own. A must for Curtis fans.

I saw this movie many years ago & liked it then. Now viewing it again it still is a really good movie. Add to which it is basically a true story which makes the whole movie that much more appealing. Like all true story movies some licence has been taken but the basic story of Ferdinand Waldo Demara is still there to enjoy. Tony Curtis plays a good humorous role as Waldo & of course a much slimmer man than the actual Waldo, at least later in his life. The movie is a great movie to watch with some touching moments when Waldo performs tasks, like surgery, that he had only read about. The movie is well worth the price of purchase & well worth adding to anyone's collection.
