Rewatch
Comedy – Classic – Romance
When two male musicians witness a mob killing, they have to go on the run disguised as women in an all female band.
A timeless classic comedy.
There’s something very comforting in putting on a black and white film, but I am always pleasantly surprised to remember how funny I find this one. I feel that the humour has stood the test of time. I was quite taken aback while rewatching this with how revealing some of Monroe’s costumes were for the time. I also love the ending which I feel would have been seen as controversial when it was originally released.
While watching it, I began to think “Is this the original White Chicks (2004)? There are quite a few similarities in both of their storylines. As a fan of both, I’ll happily watch them again and again.
Would watch again
