Add a CommentMarilyn was a "pain in the ass on set" because Wilder was insisting that the film be a farce with Marilyn playing a ditsy blond. She couldn't connect with the character, and she fought with Wilder on this until he eventually gave in. The cast and crew eventually realized that maybe she knew what she was doing when she won a Golden Globe for her performance. Go figure.
That Jack Lemmon was plain nutty and funny in this comedy of music and mob drama.
Such a Marilyn Monroe classic. probally her best film ever.
Funniest drag movie ever. Marilyn was a real pain in the ass on the set. The boys save it.
Jackie Lemmon is sooo cute(even as a lady! And then of course there's Monroe who takes center stage. Great movie!!!!
I had never seen a Marilyn movie before, and decided this would be a good one to watch.. glad I did! very funny movie!
One of the great comedies! Curtis and Lemmon are unbeatable (in and out of drag!). Monroe is charming, and the great George Raft, plays a serious gangster, just like he did so many times in the "old days"! Superb!
A true classic! Still as funny today as it was when it was first filmed!
Curiously over hyped as the funniest movie of all time by the American Film Institute, the film is nevertheless charming, highlighted by Curtis and Lemmon's quick and witty performances and the oozing radiance of Monroe.
