Some Like It Hot

This is surely the best of the Monroe/Wilder movies, and indeed it’s one which commonly appears at the top of best comediyof all time polls.

It’s a classic Marilyn performance as Sugar Kane, and she’s matched all the way by the humorous yet sympathetic playing of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, both in and out of drag.

And although the oft-quoted final line asserts that “Nobody’s perfect”, this film comes pretty close.

The success and longevity of the movie as well as its charismatic stars mean that original movie posters and lobby cards are always popular.  Every image in the original set of 8 US Lobby Cards evokes a key component of the film.  This is card #3, and showcases Curtis as Joe/Josephine and Lemmon as Jerry/Daphne.
