The much imitated grins don't quite match, but they sure go together. Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas first paired up in I Walk Alone, the story of a convict who gets out of prison and discovers a changed world. In the 40 years since, they have been in a play, starred in three more features and done two cameos together. Now they are back in Tough Guys, which finished filming last week in California, and the more things change the more they play the same. The toothy twosome portray--you guessed it--jailbirds who get out of the slammer and decide to do one more job, on a train called the Golden Flyer. "It's a love story of affection between two men," explains Douglas. "The emphasis is on the importance of friendship." Speaking of friends, how did it feel to be reteamed with Lancaster? "We're still talking," says Douglas. "We're still fighting and arguing. We should have been married. When we're together, one and one make three." Is there such a thing as macho sweet? --By Guy D.
