Smashing good time

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2004)

In a time of prohibition the streets of Chicago are littered with thugs and crime lords. During this time Joe (Tom Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) are struggling musicians trying to find work. Though when the two get mixed up with the mafia they must lay low, so they end up traveling to Florida in Cognito as `women' in an all-girl band. Not to mention one of the ladies is Sugar (Marilyn Monroe).
This was a grand comedy directed by Billy Wilder. The topics brought up in the flick were pretty borderline for its time. The mix of a couple songs here and there from Marilyn was kind of cool. As they flick moved along it started to get more interesting.
Now, would I recommend this flick to everyone? No it is only good for people, who want to see a fun comedy. This isn't the greatest, but I enjoyed it while it lasted.
