Some Like It Hot

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 1999)

Still one of the funniest films ever made. Lemmon and Curtis are a perfect match as musicians on the run as witnesses to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre...dressing up as women. I love the story about how both stars tested their "get up" out by going into the ladies room in their costumes. Both stars have said that no one even questioned it. That's how perfect they looked. Monroe, when she knew her lines, is quirky and delightful as Sugar. Wilder and Diamond present the first of two consecutive great works on their hands here. This classic was followed by "The Apartment," which also starred Lemmon. This film was made into a musical in the 1970's with Tony Roberts and Robert Morse. The musical was titled "Sugar."
