The supporting cast includes George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Brown, Joan Shawlee, and Nehemiah Persoff.
The screenplay by Billy Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond is based on a screenplay by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan from the French film" Fanfare of Love".
The film is about two musicians who dress in drag in order to escape from mafia gangsters whom they witnessed commit a crime inspired by the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre.
" Some Like It Hot" opened to critical and commercial success and is today considered to be one of the greatest films of all time.
The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
It was voted as the top comedy film by the American Film Institute on their list on AFI's 100 Years ... 100
Laughs poll in 2000, and was selected as the best comedy of all time in a poll of 253 film critics from 52 countries conducted by the BBC in 2017.
In 2005, the British Film Institute included this film on its list of the 50 films you should see by the age of 14.
The film was produced without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code because it plays with the idea of homosexuality and features cross dressing.
The code had been gradually weakening in its scope during the early 1950s, due to greater social tolerance for previously taboo topics in film, but it was still officially enforced until the mid-1960s.
The overwhelming success of" Some Like It Hot" is considered one of the final nails in the coffin for the Hays Code.
