From the classic 1959 comedy, Some Like It Hot. Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) are two down-on-their-luck musicians who accidentally witness the legendary 1929 Chicago St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Fleeing da mob, they hide out in drag as "Josephine" (sax) and "Daphne" (violin) with this all female jazz orchestra on a train to Florida.

Sweet Sue was played by Joan Shawlee. The band's singer ("I Wanna Be Loved By You," "I'm Through With Love") is Sugar Kane, played by the legendary Marilyn Monroe.
