Some Like It Hot (Marilyn Monroe)
Chicago, 1929. Two musicians chased by the Mafia for witnessing a massacre join, made up and dressed as women, a female orchestra led by a charming but troubled star.
"Wilder masters the art of disguise with dexterity and, above all, a contagious delight: a light variation on cross-dressing, the play of appearances, and, from afar, on homosexuality. Some Like It Hot is also a profound reflection on machismo and sexuality, with complete modernity." (Hélène Lacolomberie, La Cinémathèque française)
"Effortlessly fluent, joyous and buoyant: a high-concept comedy that stays as high as a kite, while other comedies flag. ‘Nobody's perfect’ is the last line. Wilder, Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe come pretty close." (The Guardian)
"Pictures like this, with a sense of humor that is as broad as it can be sophisticated, come along only infrequently." (Variety)
