Some Like It HotTrailer You ever hear of a movie and immediately think that you've already seen it before? Well, that's the case with me with regards to
Some Like It Hot. Given how old the movie is and how many times I've seen bits and pieces of the film over the years, I was absolutely 100% convinced that I had seen the movie in its entirety at least once when I was a kid. Well, having just watched this, I can say with certainty I have not, which blows my mind. There are a couple of things that also blew my mind even more than that. One, that the movie is set in
Florida. With
Hotel Del Coronado used as the main Set within the movie, I just naturally assumed that the story took place in
San Diego. Ack! It's not. The other thing that blew my mind was
Jack Lemmon. It's not often that anyone can upstage
Marilyn Monroe, but that's just what
Lemon did. He is by far the funniest thing about the movie. Insanely funny!
If you are a fan of
Tootsie, Mrs. Doubtfire or
Bosom Buddies, you will absolutely get a kick out of watching
Lemmon and
Tony Curtis strut their "stuff". There seems to be a running theme that in order to get near the girl of your dreams, it's gonna be under false pretenses and in drag and they work it to great effect in this one. Definitely worth a
Rent if you have never gotten around to checking out
Some Like It Hot. As for
Curtis, insanely jealous that he got to mack on
Monroe as much as he did. No fair!
Joe E. Brown was also good in this one too.
