Some Like It Hot

On this week's episode of Talking Pictures, we're hopping a train out of Prohibition-era Chicago and heading down to sunny Florida with Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot"! After a frightful October, we're kicking off November with a riotous caper starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon. Join us as we talk through how two broke jazz musicians on the run from the mob became the stars of one of the boldest comedies of its era, dive into the film's playful take on gender and identity that was decades ahead of its time, and remark upon the irresistible magnetism of Marilyn as Sugar Kane, all while we answer why this entry finds itself in the top 250 narrative films of all time on Letterboxd.
