Join us at the Lincoln Theatre for our January Film Series: ICON - Marilyn Monroe's Iconic Comedies

January 28: Some Like It Hot

After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy Jerry (Jack Lemmon) improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives: disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida.

While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band's sexy singer, Sugar (Marilyn Monroe), Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire (Joe E. Brown) as things heat up and the mobsters close in.

Not only one of Marilyn's best films, Some Like It Hot lays claim as one of the best comedies ever made -- also, it has arguably the greatest final line of dialogue in cinema history!

"If Billy Wilder achieved nothing else in his entire career, he would still rank as one of the great masters of cinema for pulling off this comic tour de force." —Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle

Directed by Billy Wilder

Starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft
