Lemmon digs out most of the laughs in the script. As for Marilyn, she's been trimmer, slimmer and sexier in earlier pictures.
Pictures like this, with a sense of humor that is as broad as it can be sophisticated, come along only infrequently.
In many ways, the ultimate Billy Wilder film -- replete with breathless pacing, transvestite humor, and unflinching cynicism.
Some Like It Hot does cool off considerably now and again, but Mr. Wilder and his carefree clowns keep it crackling and funny most of the time.
Wilder's 1959 comedy is one of the enduring treasures of the movies, a film of inspiration and meticulous craft.
The preeminent comedy of anima...effervescent and breezily paced, from the car-chase opening to the big finish capped with one of the all-time-great punchlines. [Blu-ray]
MGM does a highly respectable job transferring Billy Wilder's lunatic escapade into a sexual hall of mirrors onto Blu-ray.
One of the wildest farces ever.
The film's final line is legendary, though I have a soft spot for Jerry's description of a sashaying Sugar: "Look at that! Look how she moves! That's just like Jell-O on springs!"
The Great American Comedy (if you discount the Marx Brothers).
This is a flawlessly scripted, superbly performed and endlessly witty comedy that deserves its place among the all-time greats.
It is, like Ms. Monroe, a beautiful thing.
Contains a marvelous, ertoically explosive Monroe performance.
The movie was once daring, and now it's just brilliantly funny -- and still sexy.
It's a smart farce that has a high-energy pace, sparked by stunning performances by the stars.
The laughs never get old.
