I saw this movie on television for the first time when I was a kid. I thought it was really funny. Debbie Reynolds was amusing acting like a man and Tony Curtis was hilarious as George. Walter Matthau was also very funny. I would definitely classify this movie as one of my "guilty pleasures."
shareI actually liked it too. I happened to catch most of it on A.M.C. this morning. Every now and then, they air it.
shareI think this film is of note for the appearance of the great Ellen Burstyn, then acting under the name Ellen McCrae. She plays Franny, one of Reynolds' conquests before becoming a woman.
"This movie is good enough to have been based on a novel."

This is a piece of fluff, but what an enjoyable little flick it is! Debbie Reynolds is excellent, and it's great to see Ellen Bursyn, aka McRae, in an early role. 7/10 stars from me.
shareI stumbled across this film quite by accident having never heard of it before and think it's great- nothing to feel guilty about at all. I love how Debbie Reynolds plays it as masculine as possible, whilst still being gorgeous and keeping up great chemistry with Curtis and I also loved genuinely not knowing how it would all pan out. All in all, vastly superior to 90% of modern RomComs (although I could totally see Sandra Bullock in the Reynolds role).
