It was pretty hot.

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 1999)

What else could you expect from director Billy Wilder but a masterpiece when he's given such s terrific cast and good script like he had for "Some like it hot". I mean, if you've seen "Sunset boulevard", "Stalag 17" and "Witness for the prosecution", it's impossible to think that "Some like it hot" might be kind of boring and anyway, if you think it's going to be boring, you're wrong. Also, you might not have noticed, but most comedies (except for Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" and a few others of his) rarely hit the big-time or become timeless classics. However, it was nice to see that AFI recognized "Some like it hot" as being a terrific comedy and they ranked it 14th on their 100 greatest American films.
Two good friends, Jerry (Jack Lemmon) and Joe (Tony Curtis), witness a murder by one of the biggest gangsters but manage to escape but instead of running to the police, they decide to hide from the gangsters by dressing up as two women who play in a band (I forgot to mention that their job is to play in a band). It's on the trip with that band that they meet Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) and they naturally both fall in love with her.
The rest of the movie is pure comedy and I don't want to spoil the fun for anybody so I guess you'll just have to see it. The movie also has some great scenes like the one where Curtis imitates Cary Grant. It's worth at least two good watches if not three.
