SOME LIKE IT HOT

Considered one of the 
greatest movie comedies of 
all time, director Billy 
Wilder's Some Like it Hot,
is as funny today as 
when it premiered on 
March 29, 1959. 
Marilyn Monroe and 
her "bosom" companions 
The action starts in 
Chicago, when musicians, 
Joe and Jerry (Tony 
Curtis and Jack Lemmon) 
unwittingly become 
witnesses to the St. 
Valentine’s Day massacre 
of 1929. To escape 
“Spats” Columbo and 
his gang, Joe and 
Jerry disguise themselves 
as women and join an 
all-girl band traveling 
by train to Florida. 
Masquerading as Josephine 
and Daphne, Curtis and 
Lemmon somehow fool 
bandleader Sweet Sue and 
band-manager Beinstock, 
who are desperate to 
round out their jazz band.



Underneath the sheltering 
Palms - On the train ride 
to Florida, Josephine and 
Daphne meet Sugar Kane 
Kowalczyk (Marilyn Monroe). 
Things get complicated 
when Joe-Josephine starts 
to fall in love with her. 
With amazing energy and 
dexterity, Joe-Josephine 
manages to assume the 
identity of Junior, 
heir to the Shell Oil 
fortune, in order to woo 
Sugar and then switches 
back to play with Sweet 
Sue and Her Society 
Syncopaters, to hide out 
from the Columbo gang. 
All this switching back 
and forth makes Daphne’s 
(Lemmon’s) head spin. 
But Daphne has her own 
problems. The rich, 
much-married Osgood 
Fielding III finds Daphne 
irresistible and proposes. 
What’s a nice “girl” 
like Daphne to do?

With more twists and 
turns than a roller 
coaster, Some Like it 
Hot boast memorable 
performance from the 
three leads and was 
voted the number one 
comedy film of all 
time by the American 
Film Institute.
