Good

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2009)

Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) pose as Josephine and Daphne in an all-girl band in order to hide from mobsters led by Spats Colombo (George Raft). They go to Florida for a 3 week gig and be-friend Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), the band's singer and ukulele player. Joe makes a play for Sugar in the guise of "Junior" while Jerry gets some attention from Osgood (Joe E Brown). However, the gangsters show up at the same hotel for a "convention"...........
The film starts at a good pace and the characters hook you in from the beginning. It's a comedy with a fun musical score and amusing script with funny lines delivered by the whole cast. There are many good moments, eg, the scenes in which Jerry and Osgood tango the night away, and the supporting cast all do well. Monroe plays dumb, Curtis plays the straight man and Lemmon steals the comedy limelight along with Joe E Brown. The film has a fun, feelgood factor - it's good but it's too long......"Nobody's perfect!"......
