directed by Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, USA 1959, 121 min., b/w, DCP, original version with Italian subtitles

To escape the clutches of gangland, two musicians dress up as women and embark on a tour with a girls’ band. Bewitched by the fascinating Sugar, will they manage to maintain their fake identity? A milestone in American comedy, the movie reveals the director’s love of simulation by playing on the sensuality of the world’s most desirable woman, Marilyn Monroe, to sorely try Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in one of their best performances. Disguise, eroticism, impotence and latent homosexuality: Wilder challenges the taboos of his day with hilarious situations and quips that have made movie history.
