Cast: Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Joe E. Brown, Pat O'Brien, Nehemiah Persoff
Two musicians accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day massacre and are forced to disguise as women and join an all-girl band in order to flee the city. Billy Wilder's brilliant, trailblazing sex comedy offers terrific gags, unforgettable performances (Lemmon, Curtis, Brown, etc.) and Marilyn Monroe at her lushest. A hilarious film with one of the finest last lines. Academy Award winner for Orry-Kelly's costume design.
