Added DiffLines:

* TheStoolPigeon: Toothpick Charlie exposes Spats' "mortuary" to the police, leading to the garage massacre that kicks off the main plot.

Contradicted by every official source that refers to "Well, nobody's perfect" as the "dummy line" that Wilder & Diamond couldn't top.


* HomoeroticSubtext: So very much, particularly for 1959. At one point Jerry-as-Daphne seems to be developing genuine romantic feelings for Osgood, much to Joe's consternation (and we later find out that [[spoiler:Osgood is completely unfazed by Jerry's real gender]]). Also, Sugar doesn't seem to initially mind getting a full-on kiss from [[spoiler:Josephine]]. On a side note, Joe and Jerry are HeterosexualLifePartners, Joe is very insistent that they do everything together and that what's Jerry's is his and while Jerry vocally objects, he goes along with it anyway. Though the last case may be more akin to them being like brothers, with Jerry being the little brother who gets bullied into doing things he doesn't want to. The makers of the movie had planned to take it even further before the censors intervened, Osgood's legendary final line ("Well, nobody's perfect") was originally written as "I know".
