High Contrast Cinema conclude their first season of 2025 with the timeless classic comedy, Some Like It Hot (1959).

 

Directed by the incomparable Billy Wilder, the film stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as two musicians who disguise themselves as women in an attempt to elude the mob after witnessing a massacre in Prohibition-era Chicago.

 

Also starring Marilyn Monroe in one of her signature roles as the deliciously named Sugar Kane, Some Like it Hot was voted Greatest Comedy of All Time in a poll conducted by the BBC of over 250 film critics from 52 countries.
