One of the best movies Billy Wilder ever made with great performances from Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and the late great Marilyn Monroe. Two musicians witness the St Valentines Massacre and are seen so disguise themselves as women and join a women's band to escape from them. One of the best lines is when Joe E Brown asks Jack Lemmon to marry him exasperated Jack then says I'm a man then Joe says "Well Nobody's Perfect". Brilliant stuff.
Full of Witty One-Liners set during the 1920's. Great Entertaim
