Review of Some Like It Hot (1939) by Jens S — 12 Aug 2012

One of the great classics of comedy film with huge impact on many decades of films and funny shows. The story of the two musicians dressing up as girls to escape from the mob is well known, but it's a film you can rewatch many times and still enjoy for its jokes and a cast that obviously had fun (or hid the rumored troubles on set really well).

Monroe never did much for me but to see Curtis and Lemmon argue and backstab each other is a pleasure to behold. Billy Wilder's flawless directing perfects the all around enjoyable and unforgettable ride.
