Some Like It Hot
When Chicago musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) accidentally witness a gangland shooting they quickly board a southband train to Florida, disguised as Josephine and Daphne, the two newest homeliest members of an all-girl jazz band. Their cover is perfect...until a lovelorn singer (Marilyn Monroe) falls for "Josephine," an ancient play-poy (Joe E Brown) falls for "Daphne," and a mob bass (George Raft) refuses to fall for their hoax! Nominated for 7 Academy Awards, Some Like It Hot is the quintessential madcap farce and "one of the greatest of all film comedies" (The Motion Picture Guide)

A milestone of film comedy which keeps its central situation alive with constant and fresh invention; its wit, combined with a sense of danger, has rarely been duplicated and never equalled.
