I love the ending of this movie, where Jack Lemmon finally tells the millionaire that he’s a man, and the millionaire, without batting an eye, says “Nobody’s perfect.” It implies either that the millionaire knew the whole time that he was wooing a man, or that he was sufficiently bisexual not to care.

In the same vein, I like the fact that men throughout the movie are swooning over the obviously male Lemmon and Curtis. Maybe all these suitors are motivated by their sublimated homoerotic desires, making these men in drag appear to be their dream girls. Or else the men see through the flimsy disguises, suggesting that they are wildly attracted to cross-dressing men, while Lemmon and Curtis innocently believe that they are passing as women.

This movie is ripe for a remake.

The perfect reminder of why Monroe, Lemmon and Curtis will always be superstars. A delightful comedy from start to finish.

This is a film I can see whenever I want to. You don´t have to find something deeper in it. You just have fun. The actors are great and the story is just so funny that you have to except a great movie.

Yeah, it’s a “screwball comedy” but there’s lot of great moments and subtly risque lines they snuck past the censors (when Jack Lemmon in drag tells a would be fiancee that he can’t wear the man’s mother’s wedding dress because “I’m not built like her”, the clueless suitor says “We’ll ALTER it!” Lemmon retorts “Oh NO you won’t!”) I also like the subtle digs at bad gangster movies (When the musician protagonists accidentally witness a gangland shooting when returning from a gig, the gangsters are surprised that their instrument cases actually contain instruments!).

Great movie, there are not many really funny and so entertaining movies as this is.

A silly 50s comedy, but I’m reading a book about Marilyn Monroe right now, so….
