The American comedy film was directed by Billy Wilder and starred Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The film was the all-time highest grossing American comedy up to its time and one of the most critically and financially successful films of the year. The story of the film was inspired by German comedy “Fanfares of Love”.

It is a black and white film which has non stop action and great one-liners. The film is a clever combination of comedy, action, suspense and romance and a great star cast to support. In the film, the two actors play musicians who lose their jobs when their firm is raided by agent Mulligan. They get to perform after some days and witness a massacre in a parking garage. To protect themselves, they disguise their identities. They fall in love with the lead singer of the troupe they perform in and the story takes the hilarious turn of both the actors trying their best to woo her.

The film is one of the greatest comedies and one of the most hilarious films ever made. The deceptive identities and reversed sex roles combined with cross dressing forms the central joke of the storyline. It is one of the true classics in the history of film.

Action sequences comprise the beginning and ending of the film while the body consists of comedy and romance. Lemmon has the best one-liners in the film and his facial expressions add to the humor. The film guarantees laughter and is great fun to watch.
