"Here's another specialty-act trio, performing almost as shamelessly as Gypsy's stripteasers. And ogling is what this drawing and this movie is all about, or so it seemed to gaga-eyed me. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag ogling Marilyn Monroe. And director Billy Wilder ogling Marilyn Monroe. And us in the audience ogling Marilyn Monroe. What the heck, ogling Marilyn was almost a national pastime in 1959, at the peak of her fame." HOL/128
