Some Like It Hot (1959)

Some Love It Hot!

Cross-dressing. A story point used in many comedies through previous decades, but in the case of this movie it was a first (correct me if I'm wrong). This premise was much more fresh, and much more funny, at the time. 'Some Like it Hot' has held up over the years as a hilarious outing. It has the perfect mix of physical humor, wacky shenanigans, one-liners, and innuendos. The mixing of sexes through appearance isn't played for cheap or vulgar laughs. The risque elements are handled maturely and don't go past PG level, yet they are still adult in content. BIlly Wilder writes characters and situations that smartly send up each genders perception of the other through silly mishaps. Fun, upbeat, and full of a variety of laughs. An enjoyment worth repeat viewings.
