PBS showing a movie about cross-dressers? I'm shocked!
(OK, it is one of the greatest comedies of all time....but still, you have to get shots in at PBS while you can....)

I've seen it like 4 or 5 times on TCM. Each time it's just as funny as the previous time. I like TCM for the fact they show "Director's Cut" versions (widescreen/letterbox), just as the director intended the movie to be shown.

They showed it here in St. Louis, too. Very funny novie. Billy Wilder made some great flicks. (The movie he made with Jack Lemmon the next year, "The Apartment," is also excellent.)
Great supporting cast in this one: Joe E. Brown is hilarious, George Raft, Pat O' Brien. . . .
Trivia: Jerry Lewis was offered the part played by Jack Lemmon, but declined.
Trivia II: Cary Grant liked Tony Curtis's imitation of him as the millionaire. Grant and Curtis worked together on "Operation Petticoat" around the same time.
Trivia III: That "Florida" hotel was really the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. When they're swimming in the ocean, you can see mountains in the background, which I don't think exist near Miami.
BTW, my mom remembered the actual St. Valentine's Day massacre. She was 13 years old at the time (Feb. 1929), and lived in Chicago not far from where it occurred.

I think Curtis said something about learning the Cary Grant accent while serving on board a submarine during WW2. They had only one film on board: A Cary Grant film.
Joe E. Brown and Lemmon dancing at the roadhouse....
Jerry with the marracas.

BTW, Tony Curtis did not do the voice of Josephine. That was dubbed in by Paul Frees (who also had a bit part as the "funeral director"). Paul Frees was THE voice man of the era (along with Mel Blanc), voicing dozens of familar cartoon characters and narrating and dubbing in lines in many movies.

I've noticed when NBC shows their shows in widescreen format, the logo is below the area where the picture is, down there in the lower black bar. I don't have a widescreen TV, and I wonder when they put their logo down that far, if it's offscreen on a wide screen TV.

Have you ever seen a version that shows you the end credits of the movie? I have, but only once when it aired on a local station (not PBS) many years ago.
Years went by and I bought it on videotape, and where the end credits were supposed to be shown, in its place was a blank gray screen, but the instrumental music (Running wild) played.
More years went by and I bought myself another brand new copy on videotape and again just a gray screen with the instrumental music playing. No end credits.
Now, it has just ended on PBS, and just as the words "The end" came on the screen, the "running Wild" music started for a split second, then they faded out completely. No end credits, not even the gray screen. Just went on with other PBS programming.

It didn't even show the blank screen with accompanying instrumental music played at the end.

Is there any reason why they are not showing us, on videotape, on tv, the end credits? Why they have blanked that out?

I was quite entranced with this film when I saw it in the early 60's on TV.
