Summary: The funniest movie ever! A must-see/buy for movie lovers!
Review: I've seen this movie a few years ago and thought it was the funniest movie I've ever seen--I'm glad AFI titled it the Funniest Film of All Time. Last week, after purchasing this DVD and viewing it again, the comedy is fresh every minute! Great acting performances by Curtis, Lemmon, and Monroe (probably her finest performance) this is a must-see and must-buy for classic movie lovers. What more can I say about this film!? The DVD features are satisfying, with interviews with Curtis, interactive galleries, trailers, and more. If you love Monroe and Wilder, you have to purchase this. With Monroe's Box Set hitting the stores real soon, this is a great introduction to celebrate her eternal screen presence.

Summary: About the DVD version...
Review: To correct the technical info above, this DVD (both the special edition and movie-only edition) DOES HAVE an English monophonic soundtrack that was originally used in the film. Also included is a Dolby Digital 5.1 track, but one wonders if a dialog-heavy film like this should really need a surround soundtrack. Dialogs in both the mono and the 5.1 tracks sound perfectly clear and understable. The surround sound only comes into use during the occasional music and gunfight sequences. I do applaud the inclusion of the original mono track, which quite a few recent DVDs of older movies do not provide in the hope of enticing new DVD owners with 5.1 audio.The video transfer looks great -- images are sharp, levels of black look realistic (you can clearly see and feel the velvety texture of a black robe Monroe wears), signs of wear and tear are virtually non-existent. The picture aspect ratio is 1.66:1, which is not the 1:85:1 ratio used for the original US theatrical release and for all previous US letterboxed laserdisc releases. The 1.66:1 ratio adds a little picture to the top, but doesn't really affect the composition. The video is also non-anamorphic, so the resolution is not as high on a widescreen TV as it would be with an anamorphic DVD. There is also no English optional subtitles, but there are yellow optional French and Spanish ones. I would have gladly paid a higher price if they had included better supplementary material on the Special Edition DVD, such as the audio commentary and home movies that were put on the Criterion laserdisc made in the early 90s. The extras on the Special Edition DVD include a lively but superficial 30-minute new interview with Tony Curtis reminiscing about the film, a rather uninteresting 12-minute interview with the actresses who played the girl band members, a segment called "Virtual Hall of Memories" that is essentially a still gallery, and trailers of 7 Wilder films including SOME LIKE IT HOT; all the trailers are in poor video condition. The most interesting extra is a reproduction of a pressbook for the film, but the pictures are blurry and the smaller text is illegible. I am disappointed that we never get to hear from Jack Lemmon or Billy Wilder, both still alive, on this DVD. These extras are not impressive, so one may consider buying the movie-only edition for a cheaper price.

Summary: One of the funniest movies ever!
Review: One of my favorite scenes: Marilyn Monroe to Jack Lemmon (he's in bed dressed in a woman's nightgown): "I wish there were something I could do for you" Jack Lemmon: "I could think of a million things!" Marilyn gets into the bed with him, and he says: "That's ONE of them!"

Summary: As Fresh and Lively as Ever. Pure 5 Star Entertainment.
Review: "Some Like It Hot" has Everything Going for it, Hilarious Performances by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, who are Both in their Prime, a Cheerfully Cute Performance by Marilyn Monroe, in the Best Performace of her Career, Top Notch Directing by Billy Wilder, who Hurdled the Production problems (Famous Fueds between the Cast and Crew) and Created one of the Greatest Examples of Spot on Comedic Film-making in History. Every Performance, every Production Number, Set, Costume.. Everything Clicks, Even Wilder's use of Black and White Photography is Fitting. (I'd Usually take Colour over B and W any day, but Not Here) The Screenplay gets Maximum Mileage out of it's Cross-Dressing Gimmick and Wilder never lets the film get Silly, or Boring. The Pacing is Perfect, Supporting Performances are Wonderful. (Especially George Raft and Joe E Brown) I Cannot Speak Highly Enough of this Landmark Film, It's Pure Movie Magic, from Start to Finish.

Summary: IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!
Review: This has been my favorite movie since I was a teenager -- Long before the AFI rated it the #1 film of all time, but they are right! There are so many things to love about this movie I hardly know where to start, but here goes: First of all, it is a flat out funny movie! Not only is the premise really funny: two guys witness the St. Valentine's Day massacre (even that is clever, using a real-life event to start off the movie!) and hide out from the gangsters by joining an all-female band, but the dialogue is some of the best of any movie ever made. You might even have to watch it a couple of times to catch everything. But trust me, you certainly won't mind repeated viewings. This is at the top of my "deserted on a desert island" movie list. But it is also a pretty wonderful romantic story. One that women will love, but guys will enjoy as well. Joe's (Tony Curtis) underhanded seduction of Sugar (Marilyn Monroe) is sweet and low-down at the same time. The film's other romance is pure hilarity -- Jerry (Jack Lemmon), in drag, is pursued by a frisky elderly millionaire (Joe E. Brown) and the result has to be seen to be believed. While knowledge of current events of the 1920's will probably enhance your enjoyment of this film, it is still great no matter how old you are. If I were allowed to recommend only one movie ever, this would be the one. If you liked Tootsie, watch this movie and see how one of the originals does it even better. Obviously I can't comment on the DVD quality of the film since it hasn't been released yet, but the included interview with Leonard Maltin and Tony Curtis is definitely a plus. I will most certainly be getting my copy on the day it is released, and if you know what I know, so will you.

Summary: Outrageous Comedy!
Review: Some Like It Hot is one of the best comedies ever made! It is hillarious from the first frame to the last. The film centers around two men who run away from the law and dress as women. They end up in an all-girl troop of performers and the fun begins! A brilliant comedy, with great performances (epecially Jack Lemmon's), wonderful script, lovely songs, and, oh yes! Great costumes!!!
