Review – Some Like It Hot

I guess if they’d called this “Some Like It in Drag” it probably would have put a damper on the box office back when this first came out. Nonetheless, the theme’s inescapable in this cross-dressing screwball comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. Alternative sexuality aside, the story actually turned out to be a little more grim than I expected, particularly the scenes involving the mobsters our boys don drag to escape. However, my only real gripe is that after awhile the comedy of errors starts to get a little old (as comedies of errors frequently do), the gag wearing off a little before the plot actually winds down. Mildly amusing
