Hollywood Icons: Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot

Wesleyan University's Summer Film Series kicks off with the classic film SOME LIKE IT HOT. In what AFI has ranked as the funniest film ever made, two down-on-their-luck musicians (played by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) accidently witness a murder and go on the run from the mob. What better place to hide than in an all-female jazz band? There they meet Sugar, played by Monroe. As the music starts thumping and the gin starts pouring, the cross-dressing buddies figure out that maybe’s they’ve bit off more than they can chew…

With special introduction by Ed Herrmann, actor and film historian.
