Interesting facts Filmed in black and white because the men, who cross-dressed as women, looked green in all their make-up. Monroe fought to have it filmed in color. She obviously looks good in color and black and white. Filmed in black and white because the men, who cross-dressed as women, looked green in all their make-up.

Cross dressers?! The mob?! Marilyn Monroe?! Whats it all about? Two struggling musicians witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and try to find a way out of the city before they are found and killed by the mob. The only job that will pay their way is an all girl band so the two dress up as women. In addition to hiding, each has his own problems; One falls for another band member but can't tell her his gender, and the other has a rich suitor who will not take "No," for an answer.
