Description
Marilyn Monroe ("The Misfits"), Tony Curtis ("The Defiant Ones") and Jack Lemmon ("The Apartment") star in "Some Like it Hot," hailed by the American Film Institute as the funniest American movie of all time. When Chicago musicians Joe (Curtis) and Jerry (Lemmon) accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, they trade in their union suits for flapper frocks and hightail it down to Florida as the newest members of an all-girl jazz band, "Josephine" and "Daphne". Their cover is perfect...until a lovelorn singer (Monroe) falls for "Josephine," an ancient playboy (Joe E. Brown) falls for "Daphne," and a mob boss (George Raft) refuses to fall for their hoax! The legendary Billy Wilder directs this quintessential madcap farce which was nominated for 7 Academy Awards®, including Best Director.
