Review of My Geisha (1962) by Elizabeth G — 29 Aug 2007
This is the innovator of those movies where girls play guys, guys play girls or people pretend to be someone they aren't to get into school, a club, a job etc. In My Geisha, Shirley MacLaine plays Lucy, a famous American movie star with a director husband.
She wants the lead in his portrayal of Madame Butterfly but he wants to hire a Japanese lead. Lucy, along with a friend concoct a scheme to transform her into the Japanese lead. Chaos ensues. Another one of my favourite movies.
