Billy Wilder's 1959 comedy is widely called the funniest ever made: two Chicago musicians witness a mob hit and flee disguised in an all-female band, where romance and chaos collide. Fizzing with innuendo, perfect timing and a legendary final line, it's screwball at its most fearless. If its wit and gender-bending mischief delighted you, seek out classic and modern comedies built on disguise, fast talk and impeccable farce.
