Entertainment Reviews:
5 stars out of 5 -- Brilliant performances, wondrous comic timing and the greatest pay-off line ever written: this one’s still red hot.
Total Film
...Wilder's 1959 comedy is one of the enduring treasures of the movies, a film of inspiration and meticulous craft...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/4 --
The film is an outrageous, hilarious, and amazingly unpretentious trip through a funhouse of sexual identities.

Slant Magazine
...Elegant, sexy, energetic and side-slicingly funny, SOME LIKE IT HOT is the film all high-concept comedies want to be when they grow up...
Total Film
Genuine hilarity is gradually replaced by boredom and distaste as the one basic gag is stretched out thinner and thinner...

Rating: 4/4 --
The film's final line is legendary, though I have a soft spot for Jerry's description of a sashaying Sugar: "Look at that! Look how she moves! That's just like Jell-O on springs!"

Product Description:
Billy Wilder's classic comedy stars Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as a pair of unemployed musicians who inadvertently become witnesses to the St. Valentine Day's Massacre. To escape the wrath of the gangsters, Joe (Curtis) and Jerry (Lemmon) are forced to hit the road in drag, taking the only jobs available with an all-girl band bound for Miami. Enroute, both men fall for lead singer and blond bombshell Sugar Kane, (Marilyn Monroe), but are unable to fulfill their desires for fear of revealing their identity. Joe tries to get around this by adopting a third identity for seduction, that of a shy millionaire who sounds strangely like Cary Grant. Meanwhile Jerry has his own problems, fighting off the advances of Osgood E. Fielding, a real millionaire hypnotized by his/her charms.
