Some
Like It Hot
dir.
Billy Wilder, USA, 1959, video, 120 mins, b/w
 Bring
the lawn chairs as we celebrate Marilyn Monroe’s 80th
and Billy Wilder's 100th birthday! Ms
Monroe stars as Sugar Kane Kowalczyk in this classic comedy
from Billy Wilder. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon escape the St
Valentine’s Day Massacre and hide out in Florida disguised as
women in an all-girl band. Of course both Daphne (Lemmon) and
Josephine (Curtis) fall for Monroe. Curtis woos her as a Cary
Grant wannabe as an eccentric millionaire courts Lemmon. Some
Like It Hot plays with gender, sex and deception using
one-liners and slapstick with sincere emotion peeking through.
Nominated
for six Oscars and winner for best costume, voted #1 comedy
and #14 greatest movie by the American Film Institute with Golden
Globes for Lemmon, Monroe and Best Comedy.
Stay
caliente at the White Dog Cafe’s Noche Latina Block
Party at 10pm. The White Dog Cafe is located at 3420 Sansom
Street, Philadelphia. (Must be 21 for block party tickets. ID
will be check at the White Dog).
