Who are the tough guys? Veteran superstars Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, who've previously jutted their jaws on celluloid together in such classics as Gun-fight at the O.K.

Corral and Seven Days in May. In Tough Guys, they'll play a pair of notorious thieves who are released into present-day Los Angeles after 30 years in jail. Also starring is the still beautiful, Alberta-born actress Alexis Smith, who'll play Lancaster's old showgirl flame, while beefy Charles Durning is cast as the police sergeant who jailed them and Adolph Caesar (The Color Purple) as a mysterious stranger who pursues them. Lancaster is 72, Douglas is 69, and take it from someone who has interviewed them recently they both look terrific. There are some interesting parallels in their long careers.

For starters, Lancaster was born in New York City's East Harlem while Douglas was born three years later in Amsterdam, N.Y., as Issur Danielovitch, later changed to Isidore Densky. Lancaster was a basketball star who won an athletic scholarship to New York University, then joined a circus as an acrobat. He also worked as a department store salesnian and refrigerator repairman before being sent over- seas with the U.S. Army during the Second World War. Also athletically inclined, Douglas put himself through St.

Lawrence University and the American Academy of Dramatic Art working as a waiter, bell-hop and professional wrestler. Douglas made his Broadway debut in 1941, then was shipped out with the U.S. Navy. Lancaster, was apparently discovered by an agent in an elevator who mistook him for an actor and made his Broadway debut in 1945. Lancaster was one of the first Hollywood actors to strike out as an independent producer, setting up his own film company in 1948.

Douglas set up his film company in 1955. Lancaster is a four-time Oscar nominee, Douglas a three-time. Where they part company is that Lancaster got to take Oscar home one year for his performance as the charlatan evangelist in Elmer Gantry. Currently in production, Tough Guys will be released next fall by Buena Vista, a distribution arm of Walt Disney productions. New Wave Bunker headlines Comedy Shoe MIKE MacDONALD.
