Her acting in Billy Wilder’s 1920s-set classic is a model of seductive poise and loopy wit, qualities that are boldly accentuated by the blonde bombshell’s eye-catching outfits. With a strong start that just keeps building and building, this truly is one of the all-time greats that you really must see if you haven't already done so.It doesn’t get much more iconic than Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot, her Sugar Kane Kowalczyk purring out sultry songs as the lead singer of Sweet Sue and Her Society Syncopators, and between shows coquettishly confiding in Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon’s drag-disguised gate-crashers in the all-female band. Yeah, there is the obvious need for suspension of disbelief, but that only adds to the fun. The film does go for some obvious targets with some of the jokes, but they are deftly handled, and feel quite relevant and fresh. George Raft is fun as the mob boss who wants them dead, and Marilyn Monroe is a delightful knockout as Sugar Kane. Tony Curtis is great as Joe/Josephine and Jack Lemmon is tremendously awesome as Jerry/Daphne. It set the standard for all future cross dressing related comedies, and has yet to be topped. This really is a sharp, witty, and breezy comedy masterpiece. Much to my surprise and delight, this film had me in stitches through almost all of the runtime, and I didn't think it was overrated at all.

Also, the mob happens to find their way to Florida as well.Įveryone talks about how funny this film is, and yeah, I expected to laugh, but I also figured this film would be kinda overrated as well. Obtaining some costumes, they board a train for Florida with an all girl jazz band as its newest and more homely members 'Josephine' and 'Daphne'.īesides the obvious problems with having to keep up their ruse in general, things really get complicated (and hilarious) when Josephine falls for fellow band member Sugar Kane, and an aging playboy falls for Daphne. Joe and Jerry are two Chicago jazz musicians who, after witnessing a gangland murder, are forced to go on the run.

This raucous comedic farce from Billy Wilder is often considered to be one of the best and funniest comedies ever made.and you know what? The reputation isn't wrong.

Marilyn monroe some like it hot song
