Review of Some Like It Hot (1959) by Ronald-Thomas F — 30 Apr 2016
Unfortunately, today not many are familiar with the legendary, Oscar winning director Billy Wilder. This movie happens to be one of my favorite comedies of all times which stars Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe.
This flawless script is filled with great lines and is undoubtedly a screwball comedy masterpiece. The plot is simple: Two band players witness the St. Valentine's Massacre and go on the run. They end up in drag and join an all-woman's band in Florida and.
.. well, things do not do as it should. Lemon and Curtis walked around Goldwyn Studios and into the woman's restroom to fix their makeup to see if they could "pass". They did more than pass and along with Monroe create an enduring treasure that definitely holds up over time.
The last line is "Nobody's perfect", but this comes as close as you can to perfection.
