Some Like It Hot — 4K 06/28/25

A second 4K release of the Billy Wilder-I.A.L. Diamond classic?  Yes, but the advantage goes to the extras, which include unique input from the stars and especially the director. It’s a career best show for Marilyn Monroe, and Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis give everything they’ve got to a pair of cross-dressing musicians, roles that could easily have been a career disaster under anyone else by Billy Wilder in his prime. One of the extras is an expert analysis of the film’s costumes, about which we naturally think, ‘how did Monroe’s sheer gowns ever get past the censors?’ On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
