Classic Comedy

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2004)

I've always really liked this film even in the days when it wasn't as fashionable to like it as it is now.
At the height of the depression two struggling jazz musicians go on the run from Chicago gangsters by disguising themselves as women and joining an all female jazz group. Josephine (Curtis) falls for Sugar (Monroe) whilst rich millionaire Osgood (Joe E Brown) falls for Daphne (Lemmon). There's something for everyone in this film with slapstick being mixed with good dialogue.
The movie has one of the greatest conclusions ever and Lemmon and Brown in particular are outstanding. A comedy movie that you can watch over and over again. 10/10
