Thought for the day


The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God. Deuteronomy 22:5

    How hilarious. Only ten minutes ago we were talking about this film and how wonderful Jack Lemmon is; & this is the first thing I've seen since coming downstairs!

    I think I sort of prefer Billy Wilder to Deuteronomy, though perhaps one oughtn't to say that n this holy weekend...

    Well, at least according to the Jewish calendar it was Purim yesterday, involving a lot of fancy dress...

    Not to forget the other fashion-related Biblical prescription: Leviticus 19: 19: Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

    I prefer Billy Wilder as well, I confess.

    I love this movie, especially the not-really-accurate 1920's costumes. But then, the 20's were only 30 years prior when this film was made!

    Men in women's clothes: generally funny.

    Women in men's clothes can be quite funny, as well. Victor/Victoria, anyone?

    Hmm. Funny, yes, sometimes. But it's not played for comedy much, more for sex.

    I doubt whether I am alone in thinking it works.
