Some Like It Hot PG

Some Like It Hot Cover
Duration:
120 mins
Year produced:
1959
Director:
Billy Wilder
Cast:
Marilyn Monroe
Tony Curtis

Peerless '50s comedy about a couple of unemployed - and unemployable - musicians forced on the run after accidentally witnessing the St Valentine's Day Massacre. The pair disguise themselves as women and hide in the one place they figure the mob will never look for them: an all female touring jazz band. Featuring Marilyn Monroe as the sweet singer Sugar Kowalczyk, Some Like It Hot fairly fizzes with witty one-liners, visual gags and faced paced slapstick scenes.

Average rating:
4 stars out of 5 (3 votes)

This was a very funny film, do not be put off by the fact there are men dressed up as women.
It may be black and white but it has some gun action for the boys and singing and dancing for the girls.

When i first heard the name of this film i wasnt really interested in watching it. But when i did i found it funny, amusing and very well brought together.
Two men jazz musicians are struggling to find a job for themselves, no jobs at all that arent for women. This movie is all aboutt there funny moments and big boy chases. Its a comedy for everyone. I really enjoyed it.

Fascinating facts

Marilyn Monroe required 45 takes to get 'It's me Sugar'. After take 30 Billy Wilder had the line written on a blackboard.
