Review of Some Like It Hot (1959) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 21 Feb 1964
In many ways, the ultimate Billy Wilder film, replete with breathless pacing, transvestite humor, and unflinching cynicism. Most of it is hilarious, but there is something disquieting in the way Wilder dances around his sexual theme—the film never really says what it's about, which might be just as well.
