To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years. This week, Paul has selected a genuine classic from Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Some Like It Hot (1959) Billy Wilder\u2019s zany cross-dressing comedy begins with a massacre \u2013 resembling the gangland St Valentine\u2019s Day killings of 1929 \u2013 and ends with one of the most celebrated last lines in cinema history. Written in cahoots with the director\u2019s new collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, Some Like It Hot ascends to inspired heights of silliness in-between, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon both on career-best form as dragged-up musicians hiding out with Sugar Kane\u2019s girl band. Both the gangster story and the screwball antics hark back to Hollywood films of the 1930s, but Wilder\u2019s outrageous and subversive play with gender was truly boundary pushing and helped lead to a loosening of censorship after United Artists released the film without certification.
