Review: I adore this Some Like It Hot and own the Special Edition DVD. What's not to love about it? It's not particularly corny and is still as appealing to contemporary audiences as it ever was. It was shot deliberatly in black and white, so as not to portray any sense of Curtis and Lemmon's characters in the style of drag queens, and I feel that it allows people to focus on the storyline and timelessness of the piece. Marilyn is, as usual, a captivating presence, and although the chemistry on set between her and Tony Curtis was non existant during filming, their acting capabilities more than make up for what was lost in mutual attraction. I own the 2003 edition of Time Out film guide, and Some Like It Hot takes the prime place of number 1 in the top 100 films of all time. I think that speaks for itself. |
