1959, NR, 119 min. Directed by Billy Wilder. Starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Joe E. Brown.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., Dec. 21, 1999
When two musicians witness a mob hit, they flee the state in an all-female band disguised as women, but further complications set in. If Billy Wilder achieved nothing else in his entire career, he would still rank as one of the great masters of cinema for pulling off this comic tour de force.
