Twin centenaries for Lemmon and Curtis, who formed a memorable double-act in this timeless period comedy from the masterful Wilder. The actors revel in the rapid-fire dialogue and at the lightning-paced hi-jinks, in this homage to the screwball comedies and gangster movies of the 1930s. With an equally impressive performance by Monroe, Some Like It Hot is smart, sexy and very, very funny.
