 Film Reviews by Samantha David

 

 

 

Film Title:
Some Like It Hot
Year:
1959
Director:
Billy Wilder
Actors:
Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon
Plot:
Romantic comedy.  The mob are after the boys, but the boys (in drag) are after Marilyn.
Review:
The best film ever made.  Utter bliss.  The light touch doesn't once falter, there isn't any way the film could have been improved.  From first gag, to closing line, this really is perfect.  I'm a goirl, I'm a goirl...  Even today, the pace is insane, the humour sharp and sassy, the musical numbers are fab, and the frocks to die for... as for the ending: it's simply the best in film history.  Sublime.
