Two musicians
witness
the St. Valentine's Day massacre and to escape the gangsters join an
all-girl band.
Delightful fast-moving comedy which is
definitely Marilyn Monroe's best film expertly showcasing her talent
for comedy and music. Curtis is fine also and very funny doing a thinly
veiled Cary Grant impersonation (Billy Wilder always wanted to work
with Grant). Jack Lemmon though almost steals the show with a
hyperactive performance.
Wilder originally wanted Frank Sinatra in
Lemmon's part and Mitzi Gaynor in Monroes.
