Still one of Wilder's funniest satires. Curtis and Lemmon play jazz musicians on the run after witnessing the St Valentine's Day massacre, masquerading in drag as members of an all-girl band to escape the clutches of Chicago mobster George Raft.
Deliberately shot in black and white to avoid the pitfalls of camp or transvestism, the film's highlights include Curtis's playboy parody of Cary Grant, and what is surely one of the great curtain lines of all time: Joe E Brown's bland "Nobody's perfect" when his fiancée (Lemmon) finally confesses that she's a he.
