Review of Some Like It Hot (1959) by Josh G — 16 Nov 2012
A fantastic Billy Wilder classic with three marvelous performances and some of my favorite black-and-white cinematography. Marilyn Monroe gives perhaps her best performance that oozes sexuality while being oblivious to her effect on Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
This movie gets funnier every time I see it. Some of the subtle sexuality in the dialogue passed right over my head the first time I saw it, but upon repeated viewings Wilder's writing strikes me as all the more witty and hilarious.
Billy Wilder is one of my favorite filmmakers and this film is one of the reasons why. A sexy comedy for the ages!
