“SOME LIKE IT HOT” (1959. 120 minutes. PG) — Nobody's perfect, except Marilyn Monroe and her “lovely” companions, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, in Billy Wilder's effervescent farce. A pair of Prohibition Era musicians witness a gangland murder and seek sanctuary masquerading as "dames" in an all-girl band. With Joe E. Brown. Filmed at the Hotel Del Coronado.

After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy, Jerry (Jack Lemmon), improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. Disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band's sexy singer, Sugar (Marilyn Monroe), Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire (Joe E. Brown) as things heat up and the mobsters close in.
