SOME LIKE IT HOT


It makes me laugh and laugh and laugh again! I love the prissy pout of Tony Curtis’ lips as he assumes Josephine’s persona; I adore Jack Lemmon’s full acceptance of being female - so much so that he accepts Osgood’s proposal of marriage; Marilyn is magnificently perfect for the part of Sugar; the costumes are fantastic; the music is wonderful; and the plot is so out there that it takes me away with it! I love introducing it to people who have never seen it (I usually get thanked) and never tire of watching it over and over because it never fails to lift my spirits.

Argueably the funniest movie ever made. All credit to the actors, but don’t forget the Director who created so many great films. The greatest director in my opinion. His film Avanti needs to be re evaluated !

Marylin is so great in this movie! It is just lovely

Smart Comedy, the funnyest movie ever made, should i say more?

Only one? That’s cruel but I love the tight & hysterical script, the brilliant ensemble acting, Bill’s Wilder’s deft direction; this movie fires on all cylinders, characters are tested, and everyone rises to the occasion. “Some Like it Hot” stands the test of time for me. Pleased to see “The Apartment” improving in its ranking, and imho should be even higher. And welcome to “The General” (in my top ten) “Cabaret”, and “Sunrise”!

The combination of Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe is a treat in itself, but the portrayals of the characters is flawless. The fun is watching Joe and Jerry go so over the top with their ‘other’ personas. Silliness abounds and I loved the costumes, especially Marilyn’s. A great way to spend my time, repeatedly !!

Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis are on the lam from the mob, and end up in Florida, dressed as women with Marilyn Monroe as their noew friend.

This movie is perfect from beginning to end–Billy Wilder seems to have a genuine love of Hollywood cinema, and it shows in the film. I could watch this movie over and over.

I have too many movies that I love to have just one favorite movie. If I had to choose just one, it would be Some Like It Hot. I just love the acting and the script of the movie. Everyone was great in the movie. It has one of the funniest lines ever spoken at the end of the movie that I love.

This is the funniest movie I have ever seen.

This is the funniest movie I have ever seen. Jack Lemmon is brillant as Jerry/Daphne who is on the run from the mob after the St. Valentine’s Day massecar in Chicago. Billy Wilder made the ulitimate comedy that people are still trying to live up to it’s brillance ever since.
