This is the original Long Island presentation of the film voted the “funniest EVER made” that will provide an afternoon of hot jazz, gangland slayings, female impersonations, amazingly funny dialogue, crisp black and white photography and lots and lots of laughs. Marilyn Monroe was never more sexy or beautiful and Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis provide the fun in drag. This film helped to break the Hollywood infamous Hays code about decency portrayed in Hollywood films. Learn the back story of the many difficulties that were involved in the production. For instance, is that Marilyn Monroe in the poster? Well, yes and no. You will have to attend to find out the explanation in the first Long Island Power Point lecture to discuss this film. Film veterans Joe E. Brown, George Raft and Pat O’Brien help to round out the cast and make this an unforgettable film with the most memorable closing line in celluloid history! This presentation includes soundtrack music, and a book, autograph and memorabilia display. For more information, please contact the Plainview - Old Bethpage Public Library at (516) 938-0077
