Tony Curtis has revealed that he was unimpressed by Dustin Hoffman's drag act in Tootsie.

The 82-year-old, who dressed as a woman for classic 1959 comedy Some Like It Hot, said he thought Hoffman's alter-ego Dorothy was a gruesome sight.

Teletext quotes him as saying: "Dustin as Tootsie was so ugly - nobody would want to do him but a camel!"

Curtis recently made the top five in a list of respected actors who have starred in films so terrible that they can only have done it for the money.
