Voted the Number One movie on the American Film Institute's List of 100 Funniest Movies, Some Like It Hot remains an undisguised movie classic, 50 years after its debut. Billy Wilder's hilarious film skilfully blends several American preoccupations
- jazz, gangsters, drag, & Marilyn Monroe
- into one scintillating bootleg cocktail. The Some Like It Hot Companion details the complete history of the comedy, from its roots as a 1951 German comedy to its Hollywood conception, where the superb Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, & Marilyn Monroe transposed the material to the Roaring Twenties. Included are drafts from the screenplay, casting trivia (the boys were almost Frank Sinatra & Danny Kaye), the background history of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre & Prohibition-era Chicago, on-set production gossip, location shots from the fabled Hotel Coronado in San Diego (doubling for Miami), lyrics from the jazz-era songs in the film, the Broadway & West End musical versions (one of which starred Tony Curtis), & the on-going legacy of the most hilarious cross-gender film in history. As the movie concludes, ' Nobody's perfect!' but this companion to the beloved film will be the perfect addition to the library of anyone who loves comedy, jazz, American film
- or Marilyn Monroe.
