Fun in Miami Beach, California

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2012)

Strange in my 70 plus years I had no seen this delightful movie until yesterday. It entails two goofy characters in drag taking the old steamy night train from Chicago to Miami Beach California (cannot be Florida as mountains appear on the horizon).They are heading to the ocean for a variety of reasons, basically for survival. Plenty of laughs involved. MM was a really good comedienne but most just remember her full figure (not quite the ideal by early C21st standards but terrific for the 1950s though surpassed by France's less voluptuous but more sexy BeBe and Grace Kelly's superb cool beauty). Like Casablanca the best part of the film is the last sentence in the script "Well, no one is perfect".
