Some Like It Hot begins a short run at the historic Hyland Cinema in London, Ontario this Friday, January 2, 2026.
“Some Like It Hot was released in 1959 but its effervescence and sparkle are timeless … The heroes – played by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis are both liars who are mostly onscreen in drag. The heroine is a blatant gold-digger who describes herself as not very bright. There are mobsters and murders. But you can’t object to anyone or anything in this film. In fact, Some Like It Hot plays like an incredibly progressive plea for inclusion and tolerance. Everyone here is doing the best they can to survive and if that requires a bit of trickery, so be it. In Curtis’ book on the film, he wrote: ‘The concept was important to our movie. A person can be more than one thing, depending on the time, the place, whatever. Sweet or hot.'”
