Some Like It Hot (1959), directed by Billy Wilder, is a landmark American comedy about two down-on-their-luck musicians who flee Chicago’s mob by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-female orchestra. Marilyn Monroe plays Sugar Kane, a charismatic singer; Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon provide blistering, fast-paced cross-dressing comedy and romantic misadventure as they chase love, fame, and safety in a riotously twisting plot.
