Film 82 "Some Like it Hot" IMDB No. 79

Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.


1959 Billy Wilder
Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis play 2 band musicians who witness a mob killing and have to leave town. They put on ladies clothes and get a job with Sweet Sue's band in Florida. On the train ride down they meet Sugar ( Marilyn Monroe) nipping burbon in the loo and strike up a friendship. Things get tricky when Joe (Tony Curtis) falls for Sugar and a rich elderly gentleman falls for Jerry (Jack Lemmon). Needless to say it all works out in the end.
Full of memorable famous scenes, the best of which has to be Marilyn singing the 'doo boo di doo' song. No wonder so many men wanted to shag her, she was well fit.
I didn't know there were 2 ends to a lollipop.
6/10
