A Man Named Brady

Stag Night at the Steam Room

Hugh O'Brien, Scott Brady, John Bromfield, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis sit on hot shelves of various tempertures at the Finlandia Baths.


Rock takes a close shave as Tony and John relax.


"You should be in the gambling racket, son," Scott tells Tony, who is beating him soundly at gin rummy. Hugh kibitzes while Rock gets a salt rubdown in the next room so he can go back to the steam room and sweat some more.


Chowtime at Finlandia is a special privilege. Sam Amundsen, owner of the Finnish baths, provides such a spread only for men who make a party of coming down to his establishment.
The hungry mob wastes no time digging in.

"Ahh, this is wonderful," sighs Hugh, as masseur Karlo gives him a vigorous alcohol rub to close up his pores. John and Scott watch skeptically.

Scott shivers as Richard Wolfs, head manager at Finlandia, dries him off after his alcohol rub by fanning him with a sheet. This helps the pore-closing process, but it's a shock right after a 170-degree bath!
