Movie s pats code#
The code had been gradually weakening in its scope during the early 1950s, due to greater social tolerance for previously taboo topics in film, but it was still officially enforced. The film was produced without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code because it plays with the idea of homosexuality and features cross dressing. The film is about two musicians who dress in drag in order to escape from mafia gangsters whom they witnessed commit a crime inspired by the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. Stars: Marilyn Monroe (Sugar), Tony Curtis (Joe/Josephine), and Jack Lemmon (Jerry (Gerald)/Daphne)
