En savoir plus sur le livre
Selected as America's Funniest Movie by the American Film Institute, this classic continues to resonate with audiences, highlighting key elements of American culture: jazz, gangsters, and Marilyn Monroe. The companion chronicles the film's journey from its origins as a little-known 1951 German film to its Hollywood adaptation, where Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond reimagined it in the Roaring Twenties, casting Monroe alongside Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The book features previously unpublished images, posters, and documents from MGM archives, along with selections from the screenplay, casting notes, and production anecdotes. It includes location shots from the iconic Del Coronado in San Diego, which stood in for Florida, and explores the jazz music that defined the film's era. Additional content covers Chicago during Prohibition, the Broadway and West End musical adaptations (one starring Curtis), and a previously undiscovered television pilot inspired by the film. With cameo appearances by notable figures like Arthur Miller and Al Capone, this companion is the definitive account of the legendary drag comedy, detailing its full story from start to finish, from wig to high heels.
