Nicholas Feb 18 Comedy still holds up! See more Google 08/27/2023 Fabulous Classic! Thank goodness for The Prytania Theater for showing these fabulous movies! See more Enaid 06/08/2023 Hilarious! Fun! Costuming was gorgeous, Marilyn was beautiful and the "girls" on the run in hiding were often believable and masters of their game. I would go to see it again.

The comedic timing and physical performances are all great, especially from three leads Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe. The two leading men spend most of the movie in drag, which broke ground for mainstream movies. The movie feels oddly ahead of its time with its LGBT+ ending. The movie is a nice subversion of the "men in drag" old timey trope since over time, both men really learn to love their roleplaying as women as the movie humanizes women with some thoughtful commentary on gender politics of the time. Marilyn Monroe's character is simultaneously hilarious and lovably sincere. The climax is a great mix of fun and tense with the mafia and police showing up at the event causing chaos. The movie thankfully avoids the liar revealed trope. It's a great comedy that subverts many tropes of the time and still holds up today as a pioneer for drag films and queen culture.

Laced with genuinely hilarious humor, an intriguing storyline, flawless performances, and a brilliant title, it is an iconic classic Hollywood movie. Billy Wilder’s direction was masterfully smooth and the scenes were immensely entertaining. The charming Tony Curtis’s performance was outstanding, as was his chemistry with the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe. Jack Lemmon’s performance was stellar and perfectly complimentary to Lemmon and Monroe. This is the first Marilyn Monroe movie I’ve ever seen, and I completely understand her appeal. She was sensual, magnetic, and breathtakingly beautiful. Overall, I would definitely recommend Some Like It Hot!

Holiday and Jack Lemmon worked well together in 'It Should Happen to You'; if his role was switched with Curtis, he and Judy would've made a good pairing as Joe and Sugar. A lot of the movie vehicles that were handed to Monroe seemed more suited to Judy Holliday. Every picture Monroe has appeared in is fouled by her obvious mediocrity. See more Read all reviews
