cover art








Tagline: "The movie too HOT for words!"

Length: 127 minutes
MPAA Rating: NR (not rated)

Filled with unforgettable moments and dialogue that crackles with sharp, sly wit, Billy Wilder’s 1959 film Some Like It Hot is possibly the greatest comedy ever made. The film revolves around two jazz musicians, Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon), who inadvertently witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. In an attempt to flee from the mobsters trying to kill them, Joe and Jerry dress in drag and join an all-girl band, where they meet the sexy Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe). Watch for a hilarious Cary Grant impression by Tony Curtis as his character Joe tries to win Sugar’s heart by impersonating a suave, debonair millionaire. If you’ve never seen Some Like It Hot, this release on video/DVD is your chance to catch a comic masterpiece. And even if you have seen Some Like It Hot before, who can resist seeing it one more time!
