Break out the blonde wigs for our Dress the Part film series
screening of SOME LIKE IT HOT, celebrating the Hollywood Theatre and
Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday.
Marilyn Monroe sizzles on the silver screen in Billy Wilder’s cross-dressing comedy classic, SOME LIKE IT HOT. After struggling musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) witness a mob hit in Chicago, they disguise themselves as women and join an all-female band bound for Florida to make a quick escape. While dodging mobsters and the male gaze, one develops a sweet tooth for Sugar Kane (Monroe), the band’s lead singer, while the other is wooed by a lovestruck millionaire. Gender-bending shenanigans ensue - after all, nobody’s perfect.
