When Chicago musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) accidentally witness a gangland shooting they quickly board a southbound train to Florida, disguised as Josephine and Daphne, the two newest and homeliest members of an all-girl jazz band. Their cover is perfect...until a lovelorn singer (Marilyn Monroe) falls for "Josephine", an ancient playboy (Joe E. Brown) falls for "Daphne", and a mob boss (George Raft) refuses to fall for their hoax! Nominated for seven Academy Awards, Some Like It Hot is the quintessential madcap farce and "one of the greatest of all film comedies" ( The Motion Picture Guide ).

Funny! Funny! Funny! Worth watching just to see Jack Lemmon trying to run in high heels.
