Some Like It Hot is coming to three cinemas in Texas and Northern California.
“Most great movies are great, as their admirers show us, because they contain hidden multitudes … Some Like It Hot is not one of these movies. Assuming the picture is clear, the volume is turned on, and you don’t hate film, the greatness of Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot will be obvious to you, completely and immediately. That’s it. Love at first sight. Because Some Like It Hot is manifestly wonderful, you will not love it more on a second viewing, and you will not love it more as you get older and wiser … The wit, the luscious jargon of Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond’s dialogue need no explanation. Tony Curtis’s Cary Grant impression, Jack Lemmon’s girlish enthusiasm, Joe E. Brown’s Hula-Hoop mouth, and Marilyn Monroe at her peak need no explanation … Some Like It Hot is built—by Wilder and Diamond—on an unassailable foundation of structural and thematic integrity, making it, I think, one of the best-written manifestly wonderful comedies ever made.”
