Part of the Marilyn Monroe Birthday Weekend
Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) are two hapless Chicago musicians who inadvertently witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. While fleeing the scene of the crime, they are seen by the gangland killers so they quickly decide to go on the lam disguised as musicians in an all-female orchestra. Their masquerade works perfectly but there are complications: Joe falls for the band's kooky lead singer, Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), Jerry meets an amorous millionaire who won't accept "no" for his marriage proposal, and the band ends up in Miami where Joe and Jerry encounter the mobsters on their trail. The film was directed by the always-funny Billy Wilder, much of it on location at the famous Coronado Beach Hotel. 120 minutes. Black and white.
This film is eligible for use with the Lucas Theatre Movie Pass.
