Some Like It Hot

In a frenzied attempt to escape the mob, two musicians trick an all-female jazz troupe to hire them. They soon discover life disguised as women is more treacherous than expected, particularly if you’re sharing a bunk with Marilyn Monroe. Wilder’s own hitchhiked journeys with a travelling jazz band inspired his gender-bending masterpiece, which sees the lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry of three comedic powerhouses immortalised.
