SOME LIKE IT HOT (Billy Wilder, 1959, 123', English)

✨ QUEER THURSDAYS ✨
Step into the vibrant world of "Some Like It Hot", a 1959 trailblazer directed by Billy Wilder! During an era when the Hays Code stifled queer expression, this groundbreaking film beautifully embraced crossdressing, sexual fluidity, and tolerance for homosexuality.

Starring iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon, this gender-bending comedy remains just as delightful today! The plot follows Joe (Curtis) and Jerry (Lemmon), who escape the Chicago mob by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-female band headed for Miami. Along their hilarious journey, they encounter the charming Sugar Kane (Monroe), complicating Joe's scheme to win her heart. Meanwhile, Jerry finds fulfillment in his female persona, Daphne, attracting the attention of an older millionaire, Osgood (Joe E. Brown).

This film challenged the norms of its time, as Curtis and Lemmon stepped away from their typical masculine roles to portray gender-fluid characters, making a lasting impact on Hollywood and contributing to the eventual dismantling of the Hays Code.
