The TVI Take
Billy Wilder's 1959 comedy about two musicians disguised as women to hide from gangsters. High cognitive demands from the gender-play comedy that was shockingly progressive for its era.
Some educational value from the Prohibition-era setting. Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon are perfect. 'Nobody's perfect' — the greatest final line in cinema.
