Summary: Current "Comedies" Should be half as HOT!
Review: A ad for a current theatrical comedy touts it as being in the same "gross-out" league as "National Lampoon's Animal House" or the recent "There's Something About Mary." Well, I, for one, do not find the childish antics of such fare to be worthy of my attention or my dollars.

"Some Like it Hot" remains an all-time comic tour de force with witty dialogue, side-splitting slapstick, and great work from principals.

Jack Lemmon, who proved several years later his dramatic range scores in his role as Jerry(Daphne). His solution to the "marriage" problem between his female alter-ego and the rich playboy played by legendary funnyman Joe E. Brown is priceless.

Tony Curtis, who in drag resembles Eve Arden, shows his comic flair with a deft impression of Cary Grant. It was not until many years later, as the Boston Strangler - in the film of the same name - would he receive praise for his acting. Curtis is great in "HOT."

Finally, Marilyn Monroe is magic as Sugar. A much better actress than she is given credit, Monroe brings childish charm and innocence in what was probably one of her best characterizations.

"Some Like it Hot" has lost none of its heat!

Summary: blessed sacrament electives review
Review: Some Like it hot is the name of the movie I reviewed. The film was done in the 50's and is in black and white.The director of this movie was Billy Wilder, he has also directed a film called The Apartment. The protagonist in this film were the two main actors Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. The antagonists were the maufia me. The genre of the film was comedy. The basic plot was of two men who wanted a musician job and the best one available was for women. They decide to dress like women and take the job. Tony Curtis falls in love with Marilyn Monroe and doesn't tell her he is a male until the end of the movie. She wants a rich man which he pretends to be. Then at the end of the movie he tells her he isn't rich but she doesn't care because she loves him. The major conflict is that the characters play women which they really aren't. The film this reminds me of is called Ladybugs starring Rodney Dangerfeild. The reason I say this is because it is of a man who dresses as a woman and falls in love with a girl and at the end they love eachother. I would highly recommend this movie. It was very funny and I found it to be an oldie but goodie because of the good cast and plot that is irresistable.

Summary: Oh, yes-they play it real HOT!
Review: Suppose YOU witnessed the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Would you go to the police? Maybe. Would you go into hiding? Probably. Would you change your name and move to Russia? Why not? But would you don a dress and wig and catch a train to Florida with an all-girls band? Well, that's what Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis do in this incredibly riotous and timeless comedy from hit-after-hit producer Billy Wilder, and this is his hottest hit! En route to Florida Jerry, er, Daphne (Jack Lemmon) and Joe/Josephine (Tony Curtis) encounter a ditzy ukelele player named Sugar Kane (it used to be Sugar Kuvulchek) who moves "like jello on springs!". Any guesses? Of course it's Marilyn Monroe. And while Daphne is being whooed by an eager millionaire (Joe E. Brown)Josephine takes on a third personality as a Cary Grant imitating-upper class millionaire to impress an even more eager Sugar! A fabulous script, (maybe even more fabulous actors!) and the direction of Billy Wilder come together to make "Some Like It Hot" a greedily enjoyable movie for anyone! Don't miss it and don't worry: Marilyn never cools off for a moment.

Summary: A classic comedy...from start to finish it's unique
Review: This is one of those movies that is always moving, it's hilarious, the dynamics between Sugar Kane (Monroe) and Josephine (Curtis) and Daphne (Lemmon) makes you roar. They're on the run after witnessing a mob slaying and join an all girl band in drag and meet Monroe. Sugar has been dumped by careless men, little does she know she's meeting more. The hidden jokes and sexual nuances throughout are clever enough to get by the moral filters. It's got a terrific supporting cast like Joe E. Brown, George Raft, and the laughs just flow.

Summary: A Legendary Comedy, One of the Best Ever!
Review: Jack Lemmon and Tuny curtis are hilarious and perfect in their roles, Marilyn Monroe has her best role as the sexy Sugar Kane. Billy Wilder does it again, he created a legendary film and among the all-time best american comedies. This movie is sensational from start to finish, it has perfect timing by it's talented cast, great screenplay, direction by a comic-genious and milestone comedy performances by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis who have never been funnier. Famous for Joe E. Brown's closing line 'Nobody's Perfect' but this comedy is as close as they come. One of the greats. From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 10!

Summary: Everybody Likes It Hot
Review: Saw this funny, funny film on a Friday at midnight in 1959. Tickets were being sold in advance at special box office. I thought I was being ever so clever by getting my ticket early in the evening and then went about enjoying myself. When I returned to the no-longer-in existence, huge Capitol theater in D.C., there was a line down the block and around the corner -- about a hundred people -- and thought how lucky I had been. Turned out the line was for those who already had tickets! Still wound up with a good seat in the balcony, but had to return several more times during its 3-month run to catch the lines I missed from so much audience laughter. When Marilyn made her entrance, the entire audience broke into applause. It was her first movie since 1957's "Prince & the Showgirl" and obviously they had missed her as had I. I lost count of how many times I have seen this movie -- including one time in Paris after Monroe's death. Played in English w/French subtitles and the audience reacted the same as all American audiences had. Not Marilyn's best film, but certainly the funniest and most successful, and it's always a pleasure to watch her.
