Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis team up in this hilarious comedy about a bass player and a trumpet player who witness the St. Valentines Day Massacre and end up dressing like women and joining an all-girls band in order to escape. The hilarity of the film never seizes! Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe (in the best role of her career) are perfect! This film was unsurprisingly voted the funniest movie ever made by the American Film Institute in the year 2000. Billy Wilder's best; a must-see!
