A classic that never lets you down

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2006)

Some may like it hot, but everyone loves this film. Whether you talk to someone who is a film connoisseur, or someone who adamantly hates old black and white movies, everyone loves, 'Some Like It Hot'. And, what's not to like? Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag, and the beautiful and multi-talented Marilyn Monroe. It doesn't get any better than that.
While two out of work musicians lay witness to a murder in Chicago, they hear of an all girl band that needs two musicians that just happen to be the same type Lemmon and Curtis are. The two men disguise themselves as woman to avoid death from the mobsters they saw murder a man. They hop on a train bound for Florida, and plan to leave the band once they reach the warm state, but along the way the meet Ginger (Monroe), who they both fall for, but have to remain girlfriends with, so as not to blow their cover.
It's a delightful little romantic comedy that's fun and appropriate for the whole family. A classic, and good fun.
