Some Like It Hot (1959)

That was an excellent one.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Some like it boring. But not me. This is a very boring movie. With a very boring story line. It is not funny at all. I do not knew people like it. How boring does a comedy have to be before people do not like it.

Marilyn Monroe wearing dresses that expose a lot of her breast and a dress that goes so far down she might as well wear nothing. This is awful for a movie made in 1959.Tony Curtis dressing up as a female, changing and his voice is not funny.The reason for the men dressing up as women is stupid and I don't think the reason the writers use is legitimate for dressing up men like women to escape gangsters.This is a movie transsexuals will enjoy. A lot of series with homosexuals are being put back on TV like: Frasier with 2 gays in real life but are his father and his brother on TV, Modern Family-gay fathers, Will and Grace-more homos, Murder she wrote has many homosexual actors, Ellen series she is a homosexual.Who is TV, Comcast and other trying to promote.TV makes me sick I am starting to hate TV

Set in Prohibition era Chicago, "Some Like It Hot" stars Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as a pair of jazz musicians who dress like women in an attempt to evade mob bosses. Their adventure takes them to Florida, where they join an all-female band and drool over luscious band singer Sugar Kane Kowalczyk (played by a pouty Marilyn Monroe).Influential, gorgeously lit, lovably acted, and wittily written, "Some Like It Hot" is regarded as one of director Billy Wilder's many masterpieces. Whilst constant imitation has lessened some of its gags, and whilst not as substantial as a number of the director's other works ("Sunset Boulevard", "The Apartment", "Ace in the Hole", "Double Indemnity" etc), the film nevertheless finds Wilder elevating what would otherwise be tawdry material.8.5/10 – Bring back the forums, IMDb.

SOME LIKE IT HOT is a tasteful blend between a hilarious comedy, an unconvincing romance, and a parody of crime. The story is very simple, with some universal themes. It is interesting to see so many different characters, which complement each other, in one film.Two friends and musicians flee from Chicago, because they have witnessed a massacre. They are persecuted by dangerous gangsters. The only salvation for the two of them is a female music group, that is traveling by train to Florida. They disguise themselves as women and join the band. However, it is not easy to be a man, who is disguised as a woman...Mr. Wilder has managed to spin a good joke at the expense of American girls' lust, madness in high society and parodies on crime, which have marked the thirties of the last century in America. There are not many films which develop nice and pleasant romance from a little nasty joke. A funny disguise, caricature of mafia, naive rich men and silly blondes offer good fun, but do not guarantee a good movie. The protagonists are, what is almost incredible, very complex characters, which are torn between crucial issues of life, mentality and lifestyle. They, through a hilarious adventure, are rushing toward a trivial goal. The essence is in a series of meaningless and futile attempts, which were aided by the opportunism and escapism.Black and white technique is a big hit in this case. Scenery exudes with a certain charm. Makeup and costumes are not too showy. The soundtrack is very good.Marilyn Monroe as Sugar "Kane" Kowalczyk is a ukulele player and singer. She is a very simple character who has complex problems, which involve an escape from a saxophonist and hunt for a young and helpless millionaire. Ms. Monroe, besides deliberately infantile voice and enchanting stature, has showed, for the umpteenth time, a talent for comedy. Tony Curtis as Joe/"Josephine"/"Shell Oil Junior" is a poor saxophone player. He is a serious and somewhat calculating character. His vocal imitation of a big movie star is more than interesting. He is everything that Sugar wants and all that which she escapes.Jack Lemmon as Jerry (Gerald)/"Daphne", is a double bass player. He's a bit silly character, who wants to escape from reality at all costs. Each new opportunity or possibility, like a boomerang, returs him to the uncertainty. His support is Joe E. Brown (Osgood Fielding III) as an old and perverted millionaire.Frequent crafts, through hilarious scenes of escape, midnight tango, or an excellent punchline at the end of the film, bring a tremendous amount of laughter and fun.
