Celebrate the centennial of Marilyn Monroe’s birth with Billy Wilder’s classic comedy Some Like It Hot. After a police raid on the Chicago speakeasy where they perform, jazz musicians Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) find themselves unemployed and on the run. When they stumble upon a gang war, they land a gig in Florida with Sweet Sue and Her Society Syncopators. Just one problem: It's an all-female band, and Joe and Jerry aren’t women. Transforming themselves in drag, they befriend the alluring Sugar Kane (Monroe), but things derail for the pair as they start attracting unwanted attention. The cast also features Joe E. Brown in a memorably myopic role.
