Synopsis

Peerless '50s comedy about a couple of unemployed - and unemployable - musicians forced on the run after accidentally witnessing the St Valentine's Day Massacre. The pair disguise themselves as women and hide in the one place they figure the mob will never look for them: an all female touring jazz band. Featuring Marilyn Monroe as the sweet singer Sugar Kowalczyk, Some Like It Hot fairly fizzes with witty one-liners, visual gags and fast- paced slapstick scenes.
