It's Chicago 1929 - the pre-Depression flapper era dominated by prohibition, hot music and tough racketeers.
When Joe and Jerry, two under-employed musicians, witness the St Valentine's Day massacre, they nearly become victims themselves. The only escape is a jazz band heading for Florida.
With Curtis and Lemmon in drag, joining Marilyn - a tipsy ukulele-playing singer in an all-girl band - this spoof gangster movie is one of Hollywood's most inventive comedies.
