The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast.

To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years. This week, Paul has selected a genuine classic from Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Billy Wilder’s zany cross-dressing comedy begins with a massacre – resembling the gangland St Valentine’s Day killings of 1929 – and ends with one of the most celebrated last lines in cinema history. Written in cahoots with the director’s new collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, Some Like It Hot ascends to inspired heights of silliness in-between, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon both on career-best form as dragged-up musicians hiding out with Sugar Kane’s girl band.

Both the gangster story and the screwball antics hark back to Hollywood films of the 1930s, but Wilder’s outrageous and subversive play with gender was truly boundary pushing and helped lead to a loosening of censorship after United Artists released the film without certification.
