Clevercell Very disappointing...

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Torrin-McFinn77 I'd heard some vague references to this movie back before I watched it and even heard the final line uttered in a certain 1996 alien invasion film. I'm not big on black-and-white films that are pre-1980s but this is one of the exceptions. If it wasn't for transvestites, we probably wouldn't have movies like this one or even Mrs. Doubtfire, or even the Monty Python TV show. If you wanted to see an older precursor to Mrs. Doubtfire, put this on your to-do list!

mattkratz An absolute classic comedy! Two musicians witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and have to dress up like women and join an all-girl band on a cruise ship to escape the bad guys. Hilarious situations and misunderstanding about. I love the guy who had a crush on one of the "female" characters-he was hilarious. My favorite scenes were the scenes on the beach, the party scene, the part where they witness the massacre, and of course the final scene with the classic last line. All the performances were top-notch with a great cast, and if anyone wants to see a classic comedy, this is the one to see! Movies don't get much better than this.**** out of ****

csenky It is sad, that technology does limit what people can enjoy. I myself do not watch old movies either, like the majority, because they lack the tempo and visual enjoyment, that I am used to see. However I have seen some great pieces of art in my childhood, and this motion picture is definitely one of those pieces.It is hilarious, the acting is top notch, the whole story and screenplay is so absurd, it just brings the viewer with itself on a hilarious trip to places I can not describe with my poor English.There aren't many films, that I could summarize story-wise after not seeing it for like, 16 years, but I could even see the screenplay of this one, if I close my eyes. Just perfect.

elvircorhodzic 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.
