Director: Billy Wilder

Actor/Actress: Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Brown, Nehemiah Persoff, Joan Shawlee.

Comments: Billy Wilder's cracking cross-dressing comedy improves with age and is a true film classic, the witty script sparkles, the gags are fast and furious, and the performances from Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in and out of "drag" are top-notch. Throw in a truly memorable, iconic performance(despite a slew of personal problems) by Marilyn Monroe as the ukelele playing, lead singer "Sugar Kane" and you have one of the greatest comedy films ever. The American Film Institute is not wrong on this one. Essential, must-see cinema !
