Some Like It Hot

My All time favorite movie

If you havent seen this movie, you should. I have a goofy sense of humor I know but there are people like me out there that would find this movie hysterical even today. My favorite part is when Lemmon is on the bed playing with his maraccas. Now Ive got you curious....lol.

"Well, Nobody's Perfect." But this film is.

My favorite Marilyn Monroe movie to date, this is full of laughs, and it has some pretty suspensful parts in it when Spatz and his gang are at it. One thing to keep in mind-1929. Alcohol was illegal. Marilyn was pregnant when she started filming and was putting on weight, and so publicity shots were done by one of the Sweet Sue band girls with marilyn's face. The thought they would try Mitzi Gaynor as Sugar Cane and the studio wanted Frank Sinatra for Jerry/Daphne as a name. Mitzi wouldn't have been and airhead funny, and Frank stood Billy Wilder up. What a stupid mistake he made. But Billy wanted Jack, and thank God he won, because he creates the laughs the most. Tony Curtis, Jaime Lee's dad, sounds like an ego-filled jerk in the commentary, but if you can get over that, some of the stuff in there is good too. I wanna be loved by you will be stuck in your head with "boop boop ee doop" not far behind. I'm through with Love is a beautiful song sung beautifully by Ms. Monroe, who was NOT dubbed. Perfection from Billy.

Great Movie, A Classic

I've loved this movie for years and was so exicted to buy it in the collector's edition. The movie is hilarious, and Monroe, Curtis, and Lemon are great it in. One my favorite movies.

Zowie!

This movie is awesome. If you like old movies. And if you like Marilyn Monroe. But I'm guessing if you're looking at it, you are. I think this is a really good mix of plot and characters and actors and cinematography. Marilyn is, of course, a-freakin-dorable and lovable and soft. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are hilarious as men pretending to be women but trying not to lose their man-stincts. Throw in some classic gangsters, a tiny creepy bellboy, a strikingly forward millionaire, and hey, you've got a lot of laughs coming!<BR/><BR/>Best viewed with a Mai Tai.

"Who's the lucky girl?"

"Some Like it Hot" is one of Hollywood's truly great comedies. It features sparkling, high-energy comic performances by Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Joe E. Brown a dazzling array of lead and secondary characters, all with quirky, aggressive personalities hilarious, furious, and often sexy interplay among those characters an enlightened ahead-of-its-time sexual-identity theme, frenetic pacing and a script by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond that is consistently clever, daring, and provocative, straddling the boundaries of bad taste. It would not be an overstatement to call "Some Like it Hot" a comic masterpiece. It has the classic comic plot of disguise, deception, and intrigue where a single complication generates a series of subplots the way a single pebble creates concrete ripples in a pool. "Some Like it Hot" also possesses a quality found in the best comedies-a sense of humanity and an attitude of compassion for the lunatics and lovers who play the fool for our sake. Humanity is the last feature one could associate with a film about two musicians who witness a Chicago gangland slaying, disguise themselves as women, and join an all-girl band en route to Palm Beach. It may sound even more ironic to assert that Wilder achieves this sense of humanity through parody yet he does. Wilder reduces his characters to their parodistic core-to their cartoon selves. A typical satirist would stop there-with a caricature but Wilder puts flesh on their skeletal frames-human flesh. Now the characters are laughable-not as caricatures or stereotypes, but as clowns. One laughs at stereotypes because they are exaggerations of the real it is safe to laugh at them because they are dehumanized, and we are not they are mechanical, but we have free will. One does not laugh at a clown one laughs at his "antics". Ironically, Joe and Jerry as Josephine and Daphne virtually become the parts they play or, more accurately, free the female sides of their personalities, as would Dustin Hoffman years later in "Tootsie" (1982). "Some Like it Hot" is the first picture to subvert traditional sexual stereotyping since 1935's "Sylvia Scarlett", in which Katharine Hepburn poses as a young boy so she can have the opportunities in a male-dominated world. Its theme is that when a person lives as the other sex, he/she has the opportunity to explore previously latent aspects of his/her personality. "Josephine" and "Daphne" are not the alter egos of Joe and Jerry, but their female sides, positive extensions of these men who needed improvement. "Some Like it Hot" was a huge success, grossing $14 million by 1962. It had cost nearly $3 million to film, and some said a million dollars of that amount was directly attributed to Monroe, but the profits were there and because she was a partner in the venture through her company: Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc., Marilyn earned $3 million herself. Several years later Billy told a British journalist that he wanted to use Monroe for "Irma La Douce", even though he swore he'd never work with her again after all the trouble she'd been making "Some Like it Hot". He commented: "Marilyn is very talented and a huge box office star. And that's what matters. After all, if her picture is playing and a man tells his wife, 'There's a Monroe picture showing,' the wife doesn't turn around and say, 'We don't want to see HER--she's always fighting with her directors.' They go to see her, and that's why I want her." [filmfactsman]

Hysterical and Brilliant

Some Like it Hot is on a cloud by itself in the heaven of classic comedy. All facets are sheer brilliance, from Marilyn's innocent dumb blonde act to Jack Lemmon's face at the end of the movie. It has the single FUNNIEST final line of any film ever. It would take someone with absolutely NO sense of humor to NOT love this movie! And Tony Curtis has Cary Grant down pat...If you need some joy in your day, watch this film because you can't help but feel happier afterward.

The most SEXUALLY provacative film of the 2Oth Century

A film that pushed the envelope, when other films were still in fear. It also dares to ask the question ' Does love really have a gender?' Also features the most famous gay joke in movie history. Over all its a fabulous film which pulled the envelope.

HOT! HOT! HOT!

Some like it hot is my favorite 50's comedy ever!Im only 13 years old.Marilyn is at her best with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

Marilyn proves :It takes smarts to play dumb

If you are one of those people who's always thought that Marilyn Monroe was just a dumb pretty blonde with no talent, watch this movie --- it'll change your opinion. Monroe was the master of creating the illusion of the quintessential ''dumb blonde'' (such as her portrayal of Sugar Kane) It's so convincing, it's brilliant!

The Greatest Comedy ever made.

This movie is a real big hit. Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon play their parts great. So do do Joe E. Brown, George Raft, Pat O'Brien, and Joan Shawlee. The movie is about two chicago musicians who dress up as women because they see a murder and join a girls band to try to get away. The famous movie critic Leonard Maltin says ''Some Like It Hot is lengendary, and sensational from start to finish!'' **** The movie is 2 hours and 2 minutes. The year was 1959. Enjoy this movie.
