SOME LIKE IT HOT

Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon

MGM/UA; Directed by Billy Wilder

Black and White; Not Rated; 121 minutes; 1959

SOME LIKE IT HOT whirls through the flamboyant settings of Chicago and Miami Beach in 1929. Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) is a ukulele-playing vocalist in an all-girl band. Two musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) on the run from the mob join Sugar’s traveling troupe by hilariously donning make-up and dresses to hide their identity.

REVIEWS

"One of the enduring treasures of the movies, a film of inspiration and meticulous craft."

- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"Arguably the best cross-dressing comedy of all time, it's also one of director Billy Wilder's most fluid, vibrant, laugh-out-loud accomplishments."

- Marc Savlov, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
