Chicago 1929: Zwei arbeitslose Musiker werden unfreiwillig Zeugen eines Mordes. Um sich der Verfolgung durch die Gangster zu entziehen, suchen sie Anschluss bei einer Damenkapelle. Notgedrungen werden aus den beiden zwei adrette Musikerinnen. Umringt von attraktiven Frauen fällt es ihnen schwer, sich nicht als Männer zu outen. Zumal sich Joe schon auf den ersten Blick in die bezaubernde Sängerin Sugar verliebt. (ORF 2)

Meine dritte Filmbegegnung mit Billy Wilder und meine nächste Filmbegegnung mit Marilyn Monroe haben sich leider überschnitten. Marilyn Monroe werde ich wahrscheinlich nie so richtig mögen. Einerseits gefällt sie mir nicht, andererseits habe ich sie immer für sehr einfach gehalten… Und diesmal war es wegen der Rolle der naiven jungen Frau wirklich schlimm. Das gibt’s doch nicht – eine Komödie, die seit der Razzia am Anfang so vielversprechend ausgesehen hat, derart zu verderben… Jack Lemmon und Tony Curtis sind gut. Sobald aber die Annäherung von Curtis und der "göttlichen“ MM angefangen hat, ist der Humor verschwunden und es hat nur wenige Szenen gegeben, bei denen ich gelacht habe. Dreieinhalb.

Eine legendäre Komödie unter der Regie von Billy Wilder, die auch nach einem halben Jahrhundert noch geistreich und humorvoll ist. Die perfekten schauspielerischen Leistungen des "männlichen" Hauptduos Curtis&Lennon werden ergänzt durch die großartige Marilyn Monroe, die wirklich hübsch war. Viele verbale Hinweise, lustige Momente, eingängige Musik, interessante Nebenfiguren (Osgood) - was will man mehr. Kurz gesagt, "niemand ist perfekt", aber dieser Klassiker ist in vielerlei Hinsicht das wahre Äquivalent des Wortes Perfektion.

Some Like It Hot is the kind of movie that can please everybody. The only thing that prevents it from being flawless is the excessive likeability and the occasional acting for effect.

The ravages of time have chewed the humorous aspects out of the film quite sharply, but the spirit of the original spectacle still lingers after more than 40 years. The central duo of Lemmon and Curtis act as if their lives depended on it, and their mutual chemistry works absolutely perfectly. Marilyn Monroe may no longer qualify as a "sex-appeal commercial" today, but it must be admitted that the woman had something going for her. The greatest thanks, however, must be directed towards director Billy Wilder, who maintains a consistent pace throughout, combining humorous elements with romantic ones very sparingly. The overall feeling of the film is then, thanks to perfectly chosen exteriors, excellently fitting costumes, and, not least, the work with camera, editing, and lighting, a timeless affair for which it is enough not to be a cynical opponent of "everything old." That final "Nobody's perfect!" contains something more than just a brilliant line written by screenwriters who, while coming up with a "more original" ending, smoked tons of cigarettes and drank liters of whiskey.

If you say Hollywood, the first thing that comes to my mind is this gem. Some Like It Hot is Hollywood in its purest form, and I mean that without being pejorative.

A timeless and brilliant comedy with fresh humor. An excellent cast and the beautiful Marilyn. A combination that is irresistible. For a while I even thought it couldn't get any better. This is probably the purest form of film.

A legendary comedy that needs no introduction, as it represents one of the cornerstones of pop culture. It's an exemplary combination of a quality script, a stellar cast, and experienced direction. Overall impression: 90%. My favorite scenes are the ones involving the gangsters arriving at the hotel and the boss's speech to his minions, where he emphasizes that it has been exactly ten years since he was elected to lead this assembly.

Hands down, the best cross-dressing comedy ever, and there’s no competition. Well, perhaps a bit with the exception of Tootsie.

I’m not too big on crossdressing, but I do understand that when someone’s life is at stake (especially your own), you need to do whatever it takes. Sax and Bass sold me their fight for their lives really well. The film is professionally made, yet there was a good dose of naivety, which was something I had to appreciate. And most importantly - it was hilarious.

I don't know why I've avoided this film for so long, having seen the theatrical adaptation of the story. It's a great comedy that just keeps going and going. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are excellent, but Marilyn is really the beautiful adornment that suits it immensely. She’s a beautiful woman, and here she is perhaps the most beautiful.
