Some Like It Hot (1959)

Director: Billy Wilder
Starring: Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe
Certificate: PG
Genre: Comedy
Awards: Best costumes

Some Like It Hot follows two musicians who accidentally walk into a massacre by a gang. With the gang wanting them silenced, they escape with a female band. The catch is they have to disguise themselves as women to get in the band. There they meet the singer Sugar Kane Kowalczyk (Monroe). They fall for her and try different ways to get to know her. Meanwhile, the gangsters seem to be going to the same place as them for a meeting...

Some Like It Hot is a funny and heart warming film. The two musicians are witty and crazy enough for the humour to work. This is a classic that still stands tall today.

****Good
