Some Like It Hot’ Original Vintage Film Poster, American, 1959
Billy Wilder’s timeless screwball comedy ‘Some Like It Hot’ needs no introduction – with it’s non-stop action, smutty one-liners, sexual innuendo and skilful blend of high and low comedy, it is widely regarded as one of the most hilarious movies ever made. On the run from Chicago mobsters, musicians Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon disguise themselves as women to join an all-female jazz band bound for Florida. Curtis double masquerades as an impotent millionaire to win the irresistible Marilyn Monroe, who steals the show as singer Sugar Kane, while Lemmon is pursued by a real millionaire. Daring at the time for its themes of cross-dressing, gender identity and homosexuality, the film was released without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code, yet was an overwhelming success and went on to receive six Oscar nominations. With a knowing wink, Marilyn takes centre stage on this classic US One Sheet poster for one of the all time classic comedies.
