Southampton Playhouse Presents: Some Like It Hot

Introduced by comedian Bill McCarty!

In addition to Mel Brooks, Marilyn Monroe celebrates her centennial this year. She was never better than her giddy performance at the center of Billy Wilder’s boisterous proto-drag comedy, which follows Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as a couple of wayward jazz musicians hiding from the mob in women’s garb. As both men grow smitten with Monroe’s Sugar Kane, they struggle to hide their secret, as the movie builds to a subversive climax that remains bold in its implications to this day. Wilder’s biggest commercial success is also his funniest.
