Overview
Two musicians witness a mob hit and struggle to find a way out of the city before they are found by the gangsters. Their only opportunity is to join an all-girl band as they leave on a tour. To make their getaway they must first disguise themselves as women, then keep their identities secret and deal with the problems this brings - such as an attractive bandmate and a very determined suitor.

Viewing Notes
Probably not as good as Sunset Boulevard, but this and Double Indemnity are my favorite Billy Wilder films. I’ve seen this a million times and still never get tired of it. Jack Lemmon and Joe E. Brown are hysterically funny.
