Joe takes on an entire 3rd persona to dupe the woman he's infatuated with. Earlier in the film, he lies to a woman who is interested in him, about why he missed a date so that he can take advantage of her and use her car.

Sugar (Marilyn Monroe) appears drunk when she first appears and confesses to the protagonists that she's been caught drinking and if she's caught once more, she'll be thrown out of the band. Despite knowing this, she keeps drinking.

Main characters are sexually harassed, mostly verbally but also one is pinched and one is touched inapropriately, but nothing too graphic.

A woman matter-of-factly points out to her date that the two of them are alone which means she's potentially in danger of being "taken advantage" of.

One of the characters switches between two names (a male name and a female name) but doesn't seem to mind their friend calling them by the male name. Gender and sexuality and names are very vomplicated in this movie.

There's a depiction of a gender dysphoria journey complete with suicidal ideation. In an earlier scene, the urgency is for the protagonists to be convincing in drag, so Joe gets Daphne to repeat "I'm a girl, I'm a girl, I'm a girl, I'm a girl," which is clearly existentially frustrating because Daphne adds "...ah I wish I was dead." Then there's a callback to this in a later scene, where the urgency is for the protagonists to not get swept away in their new lives, so Joe has Daphne repeat, "I'm a boy, I'm a boy, I'm a boy," which once again leads to the addition of "....ah I wish I was dead."

It's difficult to tell; the plot hinges on men pretending to be women to get away from the mafia, but Jerry could be easily read as a trans woman as they seem to genuinely enjoy being Daphne. So Joe referring to them as 'he / Jerry' could be seen as misgendering.

Pretty much the premise of the movie. Although it arguably balances it out with being surprisingly progressive for 1959 but you mileage will HEAVILY vary

Yes, but not among the three main actors. They're all practically the same age. There is a subplot where a much older man by 30+ years has a crush on Daphne. At first this is merely played for laughs, then their relationship gets more complicated and arguably sweet.

It's a sex comedy. The premise is that women are hot and men are horny for them. The main characters, men in drag, can't resist sexualizing the women they're surrounded by. Joe's urge to sleep with Sugar Kane propels the plot. Marilyn Monroe is depicted wearing revealing gowns in male-gazey camera angles. Sexual harassment is depicted for laughs.

The opening sequence shows police in pursuit of mobsters in a hearse. Gunfire ensues, and one of the cars spins out and crashes -- it is a very light impact, no one is harmed.
