Endless Summer: 'Some Like It Hot'

Nobody’s perfect, but this film might very well be. After accidentally witnessing a murder, two Chicago musicians (Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis) go on the run from the mob disguised as women in an all-girl band headed to Florida. With gangsters hot on their trail, mayhem ensues as the men try to keep up their gender-bending ruses while growing close to the oh-so-lovely Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) and a millionaire who can’t seem to take a hint. A true treasure of American cinema and one of the greatest comedies of all-time, “Some Like It Hot” proves that director Billy Wilder’s biting wit and cheery cynicism has only gotten better with age.

Tickets are free for SCAD Card holders; $5 for students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public. Passes for the full Endless Summer series are available for $40.
