It wasn't enough that Marilyn Monroe would be frolicking around in a sheer, sequined, skin tight dress. The costumes for Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in drag were every bit as fabulous as Marilyn's. In fact, Marilyn looks out of place in the roaring twenties, her curves being in serious conflict with the era's ideal. It's the negotiation of twenties and fifties styles, believability and comedy, that make the clothes in this film brilliant beyond comparison.
