‘Some Like It Hot’: From Croatia to the USA

Some Like It Hot is showing at the Kinoteca Zlatna Vrata at the Golden Gate Cultural Centre in Split, Croatia on Saturday, May 9, at 8 pm (CET.)

“It is widely considered one of the greatest comedies of all time, with a number of lines that have achieved cult status (‘Nobody’s perfect’). It is a superb blend of comedy of errors, gangster film and romance. Two musicians, after witnessing a mob murder in Chicago, flee from gangsters by dressing up as women and joining an all-female band on the way to Florida. On the train, they meet the stunning singer Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), and things get complicated in the most unlikely and hilarious ways ever recorded on film.”

Across the Atlantic, Some Like It Hot is showing at Abington Community Library in Clarks Summit, northwest of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, May 9, at 1:30 pm (EST.)

This free event is part of a Movie Fans Matinee series celebrating Marilyn’s centenary, with How to Marry a Millionaire following at 1:30 pm on Wednesday, May 13; River of No Return on May 20; and The Seven Year Itch on May 27.
