...blue suit with short pants, his long-sleeved shirt and long white socks, nine-year-old Enrico Tomasso looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy. When he picks up his trumpet, the youngster from Leeds, England, sounds like Louis Armstrong. What he plays is mostly Louis: When It's Sleepy Time Down South, When the Saints Go Marching In. And at the Manhattan nightclub where he has been appearing, customers respond with rare enthusiasm to his strong, clean horn tones. Just in case anyone misses the point, Enrico rolls his eyes occasionally like Satchmo and even pulls out a white handkerchief...

He has big brown eyes and pretty brown bangs, and in that silly-frilly Little Lord Fauntleroy suit he doesn't look a day over twelve. He does look familiar, though. No, it can't be-Tony Curtis...
...Tony meets a mankiller who shows him how two can die as cheaply as one. By that time, unfortunately, the joke has gone on too long, and the spectator is left with a somewhat unnerving realization: at 41, Curtis seems most at home in his scenes as Little Lord Fauntleroy...
