Billy Wilder’s dazzling comedic classic is a madcap mobster-fueled, mistaken-identity, cross-dressing romp. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon don their finest women’s wear and join an all-girls band to hide out from George Raft’s bloodthirsty gang boss, Spats Columbo. When they arrive on the job, they meet sweet and sultry Sugar, Marilyn Monroe, and love enters the mix, as do even more games of cat-and-mouse and dress-up. With Oscar winning costumes, wonderful musical numbers, and one of Monroe’s last roles, this extravagant and lunatic picture is unforgettable.
