Review of Some Like It Hot (1939) by Filippo V — 27 Feb 2018
When people talk about old school, this is one of the films that they're talking about: a romantic comedy that happens to be a social commentary that riffs off of a terrible bit of real life history, namely The St.
Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago. The romance? Eh. It's not a real winner, sure, and doesn't bear much scrutiny, but the players work overtime selling it, and so the deft writing is ably aided by some very charming personalities.
One of the all time greats.
