Note:
From Marilyn Monroe's airy delivery to the liberal antics of on-the-lam musicians Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, Billy Wilder's 1959 comedy remains a breathless, cross-dressed romp. Lemmon and Curtis slip into heels, dresses, and the names "Daphne" and "Josephine" after eying the St. Valentine's Day Massacre — the first of many mix-ups in the arch script. Going incognito with Marilyn's all-girl band, the two spend the innuendo-loaded run-time eluding the mob, rich suitors, and male impulses. During the charade, Curtis does a priceless Cary Grant impression and Lemmon's exuberance results in laughs that echo he-she-he-she.
