Watch Some Like It Hot For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Boring

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe completes the saying ' Three's Company ' and the results are bombastic. The gents, cross dressing by accident to hide from the mob ends up with a group of showgirls and both have fallen to the charms of the kittenish Marilyn Monroe. Who gets there first and win her heart, and how they managed to disguise it and to be exposed in the end becomes double riotous in each frame of this wonderful, fun-oriented , classic of a film. Proud owner here of a VHS copy.

When it comes to Hollywood movies about male sexual orientation and (cringe) cross-dressing - I'm sure glad to say that 1959's "Some Like It Hot" wasn't one where the men "crossing over" ever believed themselves to be really women trapped inside a man's body.(Phew! That was a close call!)And when it came to all of this deliberate gender deception with musicians, Joe and Jerry - I thought that Jack Lemmon (with hilarious confidence) clearly understood his "Daphne" character so much more completely than did Tony Curtis with his "Josephine".Of course - Having the voluptuous Marilyn Monroe (as Sugar Cane Kowalczyk) in this picture certainly did help to keep the charge of testosterone always crackling sharply just like a bolt of flash-lightning that never fails to strike in precisely the same place twice.Anyway - I'd say that this film's humorous ending between Daphne (Lemmon) and Osgood Fielding III (Brown) was a priceless touch of well-timed genius (thanks to director, Billy Wilder).

Marilyn Monroe wearing dresses that expose a lot of her breast and a dress that goes so far down she might as well wear nothing. This is awful for a movie made in 1959.Tony Curtis dressing up as a female, changing and his voice is not funny.The reason for the men dressing up as women is stupid and I don't think the reason the writers use is legitimate for dressing up men like women to escape gangsters.This is a movie transsexuals will enjoy. A lot of series with homosexuals are being put back on TV like: Frasier with 2 gays in real life but are his father and his brother on TV, Modern Family-gay fathers, Will and Grace-more homos, Murder she wrote has many homosexual actors, Ellen series she is a homosexual.Who is TV, Comcast and other trying to promote.TV makes me sick I am starting to hate TV

SOME LIKE IT HOT is a tasteful blend between a hilarious comedy, an unconvincing romance, and a parody of crime. The story is very simple, with some universal themes. It is interesting to see so many different characters, which complement each other, in one film.Two friends and musicians flee from Chicago, because they have witnessed a massacre. They are persecuted by dangerous gangsters. The only salvation for the two of them is a female music group, that is traveling by train to Florida. They disguise themselves as women and join the band. However, it is not easy to be a man, who is disguised as a woman...Mr. Wilder has managed to spin a good joke at the expense of American girls' lust, madness in high society and parodies on crime, which have marked the thirties of the last century in America. There are not many films which develop nice and pleasant romance from a little nasty joke. A funny disguise, caricature of mafia, naive rich men and silly blondes offer good fun, but do not guarantee a good movie. The protagonists are, what is almost incredible, very complex characters, which are torn between crucial issues of life, mentality and lifestyle. They, through a hilarious adventure, are rushing toward a trivial goal. The essence is in a series of meaningless and futile attempts, which were aided by the opportunism and escapism.Black and white technique is a big hit in this case. Scenery exudes with a certain charm. Makeup and costumes are not too showy. The soundtrack is very good.Marilyn Monroe as Sugar "Kane" Kowalczyk is a ukulele player and singer. She is a very simple character who has complex problems, which involve an escape from a saxophonist and hunt for a young and helpless millionaire. Ms. Monroe, besides deliberately infantile voice and enchanting stature, has showed, for the umpteenth time, a talent for comedy. Tony Curtis as Joe/"Josephine"/"Shell Oil Junior" is a poor saxophone player. He is a serious and somewhat calculating character. His vocal imitation of a big movie star is more than interesting. He is everything that Sugar wants and all that which she escapes.Jack Lemmon as Jerry (Gerald)/"Daphne", is a double bass player. He's a bit silly character, who wants to escape from reality at all costs. Each new opportunity or possibility, like a boomerang, returs him to the uncertainty. His support is Joe E. Brown (Osgood Fielding III) as an old and perverted millionaire.Frequent crafts, through hilarious scenes of escape, midnight tango, or an excellent punchline at the end of the film, bring a tremendous amount of laughter and fun.
