Some Like It Hot is showing at the historic United Theatre in Westerly, Rhode Island – now, like Marilyn herself, in its centennial year – on Monday, April 27 at 12 pm, and again at 7 pm.
“Some Like It Hot succeeds because everyone involved seemed fully committed to the comedic long con … Watching Monroe in the role of Sugar, I can understand why history is so besotted with her. She is luminous on-screen, but there is a sense of melancholy beneath her performance, which could be either how Sugar was written or perhaps some of Monroe’s real-life woes seeping into the character. Regardless, Sugar becomes more than just a love interest for Tony Curtis’s character … It’s a wonderfully crafted movie and well worth a watch, especially for Jack Lemmon’s iconic Oscar-nominated performance.”
