Looking at Jack Lemmon, it's really good

I watched this movie because of Jack Lemmon. I found this little old man with super good acting skills in the movie "Money Worshipers", which was starred by acting stars such as Al Pacino and Kevin Spacey. After reading the information, I realized that he is a "Super Slam" actor. : Eight Oscar nominations, two Oscar wins (one lead, one supporting role); one Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, one Lifetime Achievement Award at the Berlin Film Festival; two Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival; two Venice Film Festivals Best; Nominated for twenty-two Golden Globes, won six Golden Globes. Moreover, he is an actor mainly in comedy movies, and it is even more admirable to win so many awards! !
In this movie, his performance is also very good. Filmed in 1959, it was probably the earliest film I've ever seen of a man dressed as a woman, and it wasn't one person dressed up but two. After the two male protagonists cross-dress, one is hopelessly in love with a singer in the band who wants to marry a millionaire, while the other is caught by a millionaire with a quirky hobby. Two people deal with a man and a woman to cover up each other, the whole story is very delicate, and the setting of the two people's disguise also adds more jokes to the movie.
Of course, the heroine of this movie is Marilyn Monroe, haha, it is estimated that the eyes of men are lit up. This is the first time to watch her film in full, just the image in my impression~~~ and acting skills, Hehe, she is really not skinny here! !
