Some Like it Hot 
Billy Wilder 1959 Originally Written 5/20/06
Beginning my foray into classic cinema, figured I'd start with something light. Great chemistry here between Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. Lemmon was especially great, I'm eager to see him in some dramatic work because I thought he showed real talent in this comedic piece. I was actually very pleased with the camera work in this one. While Wilder chose to just use one long take sometimes for conversation pieces, which I didn't like, the camerawork ultimately was a strong point of the film. Really good supporting cast as well with George Raft, Joe E. Brown, and a third act cameo by Nehemiah Persoff.
