Some Like It Hot
1959 | Comedy | USA | Directed by Billy Wilder
Overview
Two musicians witness the Valentines Day massacre and hide in an all girl band in dresses and wigs. Lemmon and Curtis chase Monroe while the mob chases everyone, and the final line, nobody is perfect, is the greatest last joke in movies. Shot in black and white because the makeup looked too garish in color. The American Film Institute calls it the funniest American film.
