Some Like It Hot is a 1959 American crime comedy film directed, produced, and co-written by Billy Wilder. It stars Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, with George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Browns in supporting roles. The screenplay by Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond is based on a screenplay by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan from the 1935 French film Fanfare of Love.

After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe and his long-suffering buddy Jerry improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. Disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band's sexy singer Sugar, Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire as things heat up and the mobsters close in.

“The MOST comedy ever made! The BIGGEST comedy ever made! The HOTTEST comedy ever made!”
