Some Like It Hot,  Hollywood Comic Perfection72

Some Like It Hot, Hollywood Comic Perfection

'Some Like It Hot' is a classic film comedy, which has been voted the best comedy film of all time by the American Film Institute and is one of the all-time highest-grossing comedies ever. It is finely honed, expertly scripted, brilliantly acted and directed, and has been referred to as the 'perfect' film comedy. Another wonderful Billy Wilder creation.
