Some Like It Hot

“Some Like It Hot” is a comedy directed by the famous Billy Wilder. Released in 1959, this classic black and white film stars Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon.
Maybe "nobody's perfect," as one character in this film suggests. But some movies are perfect, and “Some Like It Hot” is one of them. In Chicago, during the Prohibition era, two musicians, Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), happen to witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. In order to escape with their lives from the gang leader Spats Colombo (George Raft), the boys, in drag, join an all-woman band bound for Florida. They compete for the attention of the lead singer, Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe). Joe and Jerry’s new feminine identities, Josephine and Daphne, prevent them from acting on their desires. Still, they are determined to win her love and throughout the course of the movie take part in a series of gender-bending ploys complicated by the fact that Osgood Fielding (Joe E. Brown) has fallen in love with Daphne. The plot gets even thicker when Spats Colombo and his gang show up in Florida.

Some say that “Some Like It Hot” is the greatest comedy ever made in Hollywood. With Who am I to argue? This film is filled with clever lines that made me laugh out loud. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis are quite the duo and Marilyn Monroe is as gorgeous as ever! It is the delightful combination of comedy, action, romance, and suspense that makes this film a true classic.
