Some Like it Hot - Special Edition 2 Disc Set


This great comedy from director Billy Wilder finds Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon witnessing the "St. Valentine's Day" massacre in Chicago. In order to escape the irate mob, they take the train to Florida and masquerade as women in an all woman band. Along the way, a beautiful singer (Marilyn Monroe) befriends them. Also stars George Raft, Pat O'Brien and Joe E. Brown. Written by I.A.L. Diamond and Billy Wilder.

Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry of American Film.
