Billy Wilder's outrageous and hilarious cross-dressing comedy hasn't aged a day since it came out in 1959. Apparently, I like it very hot. Some Like it Hot is better than most comedies I know of. If only Hollywood stopped coming out with trashy spoof movies and started coming out with more like this.
Some Like it Hot is looked at as one of the first gay and lesbian movies. Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) are two band members on the run after witnessing a mob hit. They get jobs in an all female band so Joe becomes Josephine and Jerry becomes Daphne. They meet Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), a seductive member of the band and Joe falls madly in love. To furthermore complicate things, Jerry decides that he is going to get money and pretends to be in love with an old, rich man.
Some Like it Hot features some of the funniest lines ever to be said in movie history. The end punchline is what the film is known for and has gone into AFI's most memorable quotes list. I won't reveal since it is hilarious and will ruin the movie if I do.
This movie is one of the most fun and hilarious movies ever. Unlike many of Monroe's movies, this one isn't sissy and womanly, but can be viewed by a wider audiences. Everyone will laugh at Curtis and Lemmon's antics and will surely be pleased by their fake female voices (Curtis' voice was dubbed). This film absolutely stands the test of time and is sure to excite all audiences today!
