The first time I saw it, I must have been a teenager and, even though I did like it, I can’t say it really blew me away.

"“It’s hard to do justice to the work that Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis did. They do so much of the movie in drag, and they somehow do it without typical cross-dressing jokes that you might expect. There’s wonderful support from some great Hollywood old-timers – George Raft as the villain, Spats, and Joe E. Brown as the millionaire, Osgood Fielding…. Since 1959, the movie has gotten better every year.” -Rob Reiner"
