Tony Curtis Bugs Me; I Love Him in This Fillm

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2016)

Jack Lemmon has the most bewildered, frantic sensibility about him. And in this film he is able to use it to the Nth degree. Tony Curtis has always been a puzzle to me, but the chemistry that he exhibits with Lemmon makes this the biggest hoot of the fifties. Throw in Marilyn Monroe, with her dizzy blond routine, but with charm, and gentleness, and you have an unstoppable comedy. With the men in drag attempting to invade the place where the girls are and Joe E. Brown (a very strange man to say the least) and a great script and it really works. I will never forget the final line of the movie as Lemon sits next to Brown with the most incredulous look. See this if you haven't it will make you laugh from beginning to end.
