Some Like It Hot

Some Like It Hot (1959) is Billy Wilder's classic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Prohibition-era Chicago: two struggling musicians witness a mob hit and have to vanish, fast.

Joe and Jerry escape the only way they can think of — they put on dresses, become Josephine and Daphne, and join an all-girl band heading to Florida. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon throw themselves at the disguise, while Marilyn Monroe steals every scene as Sugar Kane, the band's sweet, hard-luck singer. Then it all tangles up: Joe falls for Sugar, an aging millionaire falls for Daphne, and the same gangsters they were running from check into the same hotel.

Wilder builds the whole thing into a flawless farce that ends on one of the most quoted last lines in movies. Decades on, it still tops best-comedy lists and barely shows its age. Stream Some Like It Hot (1959) online on iFILM.
