Some Like It Hot (Cinema Reserve)

As well as being acknowledged as one of Marilyn Monroe's finest performances, Some Like It Hot is a comedy which presents sharp satire and zany slapstick from acting talents led by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. It's Billy Wilder's film as much as anything else, as the comic genius manages to offer plenty of laughs in this cross-dressing classic. Some Like It Hot bridges a gap between traditional Hollywood screwball comedies and the dawning of a saucier, more permissive era. For Monroe it's her sexiest and funniest role. As well as looking great, she shows natural comedy talent while Curtis and Lemmon have rarely bettered their performances. From the opening scene to the classic closing line of "nobody's perfect", this film is an absolute joy.
