Review of Some Like It Hot (1939) by Ashley S — 21 Jun 2010
Excellent comedy - one of those films where all the creative elements came together perfectly. Great story, great script, great cast. If you've never seen it - this is a movie everyone should see at least once.
It's one of the best comedies ever made. Set during prohibition, Joe and Jerry have to go into hiding after witnessing an Al Capone-like gangster murder an informer. They need money and they need to get away fast.
They reluctantly agree to the only quick option they find...joining an all-girls band headed for Florida and away from the mob, disguised as women. That's all you need to know right now - it takes off from there and just gets funnier and funnier as they cope with their new identities.
...surrounded by beautiful girls. It might sound silly, but it's truly great. Highly recommended.
