An all time classic

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2007)

Most dedicated film fans will know the storyline of this classic comedy. Two guys dress up as women to escape the mafia after witnessing the St Valentine Day massacre. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis give stealing performances. Marilyn Monroe is also great as the innocent and naive starlet. Jack Lemmon's performance to me is probably the funniest comedy movie performance of all time. He is an absolute riot! What a great actor! However I gave this classic less than 10 stars as I dislike mafia and gangsters. These days I usually skip the first 30 minutes (i.e. the worst part of the film): The antics of Spats Colombo and the other cretinous lowlife gangs leave me cold. Also the film would have had a much better ending if ALL the mafia gangsters came to a grisly end.
