Learn moreSome Like It Hot occupies a unique place in American culture. This beloved classic showcases five comic geniuses: Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, I. A. L. Diamond, Billy Wilder, and Marilyn Monroe. It has been honored by the American Film Institute as the "funniest film of all time." It has contributed quotes, styles, and stories to film lore. Yet the full story of its making has never been told—until now.
Tony Curtis (1925-2010) was an American film actor whose career spanned six decades but who achieved the height of his popularity in the 1950s and early 1960s. He acted in more than one-hundred films in roles covering a wide range of genres, from light comedy to serious drama.
