Review of Some Like It Hot (1959) by Chris M — 06 Jan 2013
After two musicians from Chicago (Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis) witness a mob shootout and fear that they may be the mobster's (George Raft) next targets, they disguise themselves as members of an all-girl musical band heading to Miami.
But when both of them fall in love with the band's lead singer (Marilyn Monroe), many uproarious complications ensue in writer-director Billy Wilder's timeless comedy, Some Like It Hot. Even though this film claims that "nobody's perfect", Some Like It Hot ironically manages to be a perfectly delightful treat in its own right.
The timing of the jokes through Wilder's direction is impeccable, the screenplay has no trace of fat in its plotting, and Marilyn Monroe was practically born to play her iconic role as lead singer Sugar Kane.
