Film Description

Without a doubt one of the finest films ever made, Billy Wilder's gender-bending comedy blends madcap capers with some of the sharpest dialogue this side of a stiletto.
Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon play two musicians on the run from the mob who drag up to join an all-girl band. There they bump into Sugar Kane (a pneumatically alluring Marilyn Monroe) and must elude gangsters, lecherous millionaires - not to mention the perils of walking in high heels - if they want to live long enough to taste the honey.
