The last in the present series Sir Gordon Richards - Jockey

continues a season of feature films starring Hollywood's legendary actress. Also starring Tony Curtis
Jack Lemmon
It's Chicago 1,929-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 rapidly becomes one of Holly-wood's most inventive comedies.
