If you think this film's over-rated, you should get punched in the face.
After witnessing the St. Valentine Massacre, two smooth musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) have to avoid the Chicago mob by joining a all-female band by being in drag. However, while in Miami, the two guys have love spats with the band's torch song singer (an angelic Marilyn Monroe, despite her off-screen anxieties) and a goofy rich codger (Joe E. Brown).
Directed by Billy Wilder. Co-written by Wilder and Izzy Diamond. Also stars George Raft as gangster "Spats" Columbo (what a name!), Pat O'Brien as a hardboiled cop and Nehemiah Persoff as Little Bonaparte, a cheerful, yet strict mob boss with a hearing aid (Love that guy!!!)
Don't be shocked if "Zowie" enters your vocabulary.
