Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder 1959)

Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, George Raft, Joan Shawlee, Joe E Brown, Mike Mazurki, Harry Wilson (the other hood).

Written by Wilder and IAL Diamond, scored by Adolph Deutsch and brilliantly, lovingly, luminously lit by Charles Lang (winning one of his 18 Oscar nominations!) Stories of the filming are now almost as well-known as the film itself.

 That dress, the source of much debate in this house, was designed by Orry-Kelly.


This was the closest Wilder came to working with Cary Grant.
