Some Like It Hot (1959)

Some Like It Hot is a 1959 comedy movie directed by Billy Wilder, with a running time of 2h 3m. It stars Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe.

Fast, warm, and still one of the funniest films ever made. In Prohibition-era Chicago, broke musicians Joe and Jerry happen to witness a mob hit and need to vanish fast. Their solution: pull on wigs and dresses, become Josephine and Daphne, and join an all-girl band heading to Florida by train. Marilyn Monroe plays the band's singer, and Billy Wilder keeps the disguises, the gangsters, and the flirting spinning without a wasted second. It never winks too hard, and it lands every joke it sets up.

A few thoughts on Some Like It Hot

For more crime played as caper, Baccano! runs Prohibition gangsters, doomed schemes, and a big ensemble at the same breakneck comic speed. Or try Only Murders in the Building, which shares the delight in ordinary people bluffing their way through a world of criminals with sharp comic timing.

Prohibition-era gangsters, speakeasies and jazz

Some Like It Hot kicks off when two broke musicians witness a mob hit in Prohibition Chicago and have to vanish. These picks live in that same bootleg-and-tommy-gun world, moving between speakeasies, crooked deals, and jazz-age glamour across the page and the screen. Crime and swing, from the years when both were illegal and everywhere.
