"Nobody's perfect."

Billy Wilder became forever famous for his classics; Some Like It Hot is one of those memorable, timeless, unforgettable films that has lost very little of its original appeal. Wilder has crafted a risqué, gender-binding comedy rich in sexual innuendo, steamy seductions, and spoofs of gender stereotypes.

The very straightforward plot follows two ... read more

Being a movie from the late 50's, with it's screwball comedy centering on the now-over-used theme of cross dressing men, you'd think that Some Like It Hot would've gone cold by now.
And yet, in large part due to Billy Wilder's sharp-edged yet still slapstick script, it hasn't.
And let's not forget that adding fuel to fire, as always, is Marilyn Monroe. Even through modern eye... read more

I actually already saw this flick but it was such a long time ago, I thought it was really time for a re-watch. The first time I saw it, I must have been a teenager and, even though I did like it, I can’t say it really blew me away. For many, it is considered one of the greatest comedies ever made and it has obviously become an inspiration for many other features, especially the ones about men d... read more

"23.5. Yle Areena Uusintakatselu. 17 vuotta sitten pidin mestariteoksena, nyt kovin ristiriitaisena. Toisaalta Wilderin dialogitykitys ja yleinen lennokkuus miellyttää. Toisaalta en sen jaksa sen naiskuvaa, enkä ilosteluhuumoria. Loppu on kyllä erinomainen."

"28.12. 2024 Billy Wilder's classic film tells the story of two struggling musicians who accidentally witness a mass murder, after which they escape dangerous gangsters by dressing up as women and joining an all-girl orchestra traveling to Florida by train. "Some Like It Hot" is probably the funniest depiction of the Prohibition era ever. Wilder succeeded where countless comedy directors failed: he mixed sharp and witty dialogue with perfectly paced comical scenes without ever being forced or pr"
