Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Maybe "nobody's perfect", as one character in this masterpiece suggests. But some movies are perfect, and Some Like It Hot is one of them. In Chicago, during the Prohibition era, two skirt-chasing musicians, Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), inadvertently witness the St Valentine's Day Massacre. In order to escape the wrath of gangland chief Spats Colombo (George Raft), the boys, in drag, join an all-woman band headed for Florida. They vie for the attention of the lead singer, Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), a much-disappointed songbird who warbles "I'm Through with Love" but remains vulnerable to yet another unreliable saxophone player. (When Curtis courts her without his dress, he adopts the voice of Cary Grant--a spot-on impersonation.) The script by director Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond is beautifully measured; everything works, like a flawless clock. Aspiring screenwriters would be well advised to throw away the how-to books and simply study this film. The bulk of the slapstick is handled by an unhinged Lemmon and the razor-sharp Joe E. Brown, who plays a horny retiree smitten by Jerry's feminine charms. For all the gags, the film is also wonderfully romantic, as Wilder indulges in just the right amounts of moonlight and the lilting melody of "Park Avenue Fantasy". Some Like It Hot is so delightfully fizzy, it's hard to believe the shooting of the film was a headache, with an unhappy Monroe on her worst behaviour. The results, however, are sublime. --Robert Horton
Rating:
- Close to perfect
This film appeals on so many levels - it's a farce, a sophisticated comedy, a gangster movie, a musical - some classic lines and probably a good contender for the best last line ever. Please watch this, it's that good.
Rating: - The most fun anyone can get from a movie
Some Like It Hot could be the funniest film ever made. It certainly is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Not only does it feature great chemistry between Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, not only does Marylin Monroe look gorgeous in it, not only do the gags work perfectly every time, but it also features possibly the best ending for any movie. 50 years old it may be, but the gags, jokes and laughs never age a bit.
Rating: - A classic comedy, essential to your collection
I absolutely love this film! Marilyn Monroe shines as Sugar, the ukelele player.
The plot twists are so unexpected that the audience is constantly on their toes and the relationship between the leads is so convincing and you find yourself rooting for them throughout the entire film, hoping that they will be together.
Overall, a truly timeless piece of film-making, one for the books! Anyone who hasn't seen it should definately go out and see it!
Rating:
- A much over-rated film
I am sorry if I appear awkward, but I simply cannot join in the acclaim that this film has been accorded, and to pronounce it as 'the funniest film' ever made is simply ridiculous. I can think of many others that are superior (The Ladykillers with Alec Guiness, for starters). This film relies on it's comedy from one of the oldest gags in the book, namely two blokes dressing up as women. Granted, they do a good job of it, but there is nothing original here. Marilyn Monroe is a pain in the bum, ... Read More
Rating: - It takes a real man to be a real woman
Well nobody's perfect - that is of course Billy Wilder on top form. A true classic in every sense of the word, a truly sparkling script and 3 central performances that just cannot be topped. When Joe and Jerry don their nom de drag all you need to do is jump on the rollercoaster and pray your sides don't split. Despite Miss Monroe's consistent unproressional behaviour throughout the shooting the the film (she was so hated by the end of it - she wasn't invited to the wrap party) the extremely strong ...
