Tony played Camp Freddie, one of Michael Caine's sidekicks. He's the one in the pink suit who joins Caine in co-opting Benny Hill to join their heist in Turin. What's immediately noticeable is that Beckley, who was gay, plays the part with great integrity, but with more than a dash of flamboyance. Deliciously, for 1968, none of the other characters...
