The most hilarious and subversive film ever made about a one-joke premise: sex. That is honestly all that the movie is about. Sure there’s a tiny subplot about gangsters and the Valentine’s Day Massacre, but its mostly all about different forms of sexual identity.

In a hurry to get out of town to avoid being whacked by the mob, they rename themselves Josephine and Daphne, pose as girls and get themselves into an all-woman jazz band as they head on an all expe...Read more
