One of America's funniest films

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2018)

Billy Wilder was a masterful director. The American Film Institute names this movie the greatest comedy of all time. It's not hard to see why. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis are excellent. Monroe, I never saw her as an amazing actress, but she did pretty good in this film all the same.
The humor is top notch and very smart. The funniest parts are when Curtis and Lemmon are bickering with each other. Apparently the black and white look was done because both of their makeup made them look so ugly that Wilder thought black and white cinematography would conceal their ugly makeup. Nothing wrong with that though, black and white movies rock!
It's a great comedy. One for the ages! Is it the best comedy ever? No. Not in my mind. But is it too 5? Absolutely!
