** "Josephine" and Sugar have these moments. She's surprised but not horrified when "she" kisses her.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: At the time, the joke with the line "Nobody talks like that" is that Tony Curtis was doing an impression of his idol Creator/CaryGrant, whose voice hadn't yet been heard on film in 1929. Grant's distinctive transatlantic accent quickly faded out of fashion and is now viewed as a relic of the 1930s and '40s, likely causing people to just take it at face value.

* ValuesDissonance: Joe's method of seducing Sugar, namely manipulating her into kissing him by making up a tragic story about never having been able to feel anything for a woman before, comes off a little rapey by today's standards. Until you realize that Sugar is lying to him too (though more subtlely than he is), plying him with alcohol, and encouraging him to kiss her even though he says he's not interested in women in general or in anything they're doing. It comes off a little like trying to convert a gay guy by today's standards. Basically, neither one of them is a very good person, but we mostly like them anyway. The movie's final line ("Well, nobody's perfect!") could apply well to them.
** Jerry trying to seduce Sugar earlier in the film by trying to get her drunk while pretending to be a girl to lure her into a false sense of security (presumably so he can have his way with her while she's too intoxicated to know what's going on [[WhatDidIDoLastNight or remember that her band mate "Daphne" is a man in the morning]]), is played for laughs. Today, that's known as "date rape," and wouldn't be played for light-hearted comedy.

* ValuesResonance: While the film's comedy hinges on playing with gender roles, it's done light-heartedly, and plays more with social expectations of the genders rather than how it perceives them (especially women) to actually be. The amount of LesYay between Sugar and her "pals" Daphne and Josephine, and implied HoYay between the secretly male "Daphne" and Osgood (who seem to still have some feelings for each other even when they know the other is male) is done non-malicously, non-stereotypically, and very much taken in stride. Such portrayals continue to be well-regarded in a time when gender and sexuality norms are continually called into question.
