Wild Comedy.

Rating: 6/10 (9 November 2013)

Billy Wilder directed this wild comedy that stars Jack Lemmon & Tony Curtis as two out-of-work Chicago musicians who accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre committed by Spats Columbo(played by George Raft). Desperate to get out of town, they take the first job available: in an all-girls band as replacements players! Of course, they have to disguise themselves as women, which leads to complications when the meet Sugar Cane(played by Marilyn Monroe) the knockout beauty of the band. Once in Florida, they devise a way to stay undercover and avoid Spats, who is on the way... Overpraised comedy is well acted and reasonably funny, though the first half is better than the silly second, and this goes on too long as well. Still, the good cast makes it just about work.
