Hysterically funny!

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2013)

AFI calls this the funniest film ever made.While it is hilarious,I have watched films that made me laugh harder.I guess in the end,it is really about individual tastes.This is a well written,well executed comedy from top to bottom.Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis are hysterically funny as the two main characters,that is,if you can take your eyes off of Marilyn long enough.She never looked lovelier.Jello on springs,indeed,Mr. Lemmon!The film also has some small elements of drama and violence.George Raft is at his dead level best as the mob boss in pursuit of our two fleeing main characters.All in all worthy of it's classic status.
