Many consider 'Some Like It Hot' to be the finest comedy ever. I don't. I enjoyed it, but there are many more modern comedies that I think are better. It is a shame that this one was not shot in glorious color, because black and white does not do it justice. Curtis, Lemon, and especially Marilyn Monroe, are all great here, but the comedy sense is a bit too screwball to work well for the entire 120 minutes. However I especially liked Marilyn, including her singing, and the Cary Grant accent that Curtis uses when assuming the identity of "Shell Oil, Junior", rich yachtsman courting Monroe's 'Honey.' The movie gets its title from a reference midway, when several were discussing a musical style, 'jazzing' things up, because of the music 'some like it hot.' The DVD was from my public library.
