Groovie Movies!

Some Like It Hot!



This week, sick in bed, I got a chance to watch the film "Some Like It Hot" from Billy Wilder.
I haven't laughed so much in years! This movie is definately worth watching.
It all starts with two musicians who are practically scraping the pavement for money and when they are witnesses of the Chicago "Valentine's Day Massacre" caused by the mobster, "Spats" they quickly leave town in a girl band. Disguised as women, the two men Jerry and Joe, played by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis play along with the band, while they chase after the beautiful and talented ms. Marilyn Monroe!


Considered one of the funniest movies ever to grace the silver screen this is definitely worth a watch!
