Some Like It Hot
After watching a murder in the mafia, the talented saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his longtime friend, Jerry (Jack Lemon), are trying to arrange a new and different plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. It seems that the plan will be ingenious when they disguise themselves as women, guarantee the female jazz band and jump into a train to sunny Florida to escape to safety.

Re-viewing Some Like It Hot is invariably a rewarding experience, not because it is a great comedy but because it is a great movie.

One of Wilder's funniest satires.

Pictures like this, with a sense of humor that is as broad as it can be sophisticated, come along only infrequently.

Here is one of those movies that persists beyond the implications of a mere time frame, resonating with audiences like a very fine wine.

Everyone has a canonical classic which they just don't get. This one is mine.

Fifty-five years old and still a comedy masterpiece.

Lemmon digs out most of the laughs in the script. As for Marilyn, she's been trimmer, slimmer and sexier in earlier pictures.

Brilliant performances, wondrous comic timing and the greatest pay-off line ever written: this one's still red hot.

The Great American Comedy (if you discount the Marx Brothers).

In many ways, the ultimate Billy Wilder film -- replete with breathless pacing, transvestite humor, and unflinching cynicism.

The funniest comedy I've seen in years.

"Nobody's perfect" is the last line. Wilder, Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe come pretty close.
