Description of this Poster Some Like It Hot
Some Like It Hot is a 1959 American romantic comedy film directed, produced and co-written by Billy Wilder. It stars Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and features George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Brown, Joan Shawlee, Grace Lee Whitney, and Nehemiah Persoff in supporting roles. The screenplay by Wilder and IAL Diamond is based on a screenplay by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan from the 1935 French film Fanfare d'amour. The film tells the story of two musicians who cross-dress in order to escape from gangsters in the mafia they saw commit a crime (inspired by the Valentine's Day Massacre)
Some Like It Hot was critically and commercially successful and is considered one of the greatest films of all time. The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, and won Best Costume Design. In 1989, the Library of Congress selected it as one of the first 25 films to be preserved in the United States National Film Registry for its "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance." It was voted the best comedy film by the American Film Institute in its list on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs poll in 2000, and was selected as the best comedy of all time in a poll conducted by the BBC in 2017 among 253 film critics from 52 countries. In 2005, the British Film Institute included this film in its list of "the fifty best films for children up to the age of 14". In the 2012 Sight & Sound polls, it was ranked the 42nd best film ever made in the critics' poll and 37th in the directors' poll. In previous Sight & Sound polls from 2002, the film was ranked 37th among critics and 24th among directors. In 2010, The Guardian considered it the 3rd best comedy film of all time. In 2015, the film placed 30th on the BBC's list of "100 Greatest American Films", voted on by film critics around the world.
The film was produced without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code (Hays Code) because it plays with the idea of homosexuality and features cross-dressing. The scope of this code had gradually weakened since the early 1950s, due to greater social tolerance for previously taboo subjects in cinema, but it remained officially in force until the mid-1960s. he huge success of Some Like It Hot is considered one of the final nails in the coffin of the Hays Code.
