This is a rousing movie and pure Marilyn. She , along with Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis, not to mention the other players. They were not the wimps we see today. Marilyn Monroe knew she wasn't a great actress, but she came across as something real. Not the size 00's you see today- ones that really are not able to hold your attention. She's funny and holds your interest. The plot is excellent. Can you name an actress to day that would come up to a sitting president and sing "Happy Birthday" to him? Pure Laughs! Linda Nowlin

This is a comedy about two bungling musicians from Chicago (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) who witness the mob's "St. Valentine's Day Massacre." This makes them the object of the gangsters, who want to rub out the witnesses. Being made in 1959, the comedy adopts the chase plot. similar to "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," with a lot of hilarious chase scenes. To evade the gangsters, Curtis and Lemmon resort to cross-dressing as women, which becomes problematic for both when voluptuous bombshell, Marilyn Monroe enters their lives. They flee Chicago for Florida (with the "Florida" scenes actually filmed at San Diego's famous Coronado Hotel). Lots of sudden, funny, unexpected, "turnabouts" with lots of laughs. Everything a comedy should be!

Marilyn Monroe Gold! She was so far ahead of her time. I don't think we ever treated her right. Now a days, she would have been called Bipolar. GREAT LADY!!!
