Some Like It Hot (4K UHD)

A true classic, which is not a term I often use. This comedy puts most modern movies to shame it has so much more class. We recently showed this to our 88 year old widowed friend, who remains very mentally sharp. She caught every humorous element and laughed harder than she had in a very long time.

So many people just love Some Like It Hot. It's campy and fun. But it's also rather bit corny. Good for movie night with the gang.

recieved on time and in good condition

You've got to have a sense of humor and a fun nature to enjoy this one.Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis - it's an all star cast.If you haven't seen it, you'll enjoy this gem.If you have seen it, you'll appreciate getting to watch it all over again.If you don't like it, that's cool. Everyone has their own tastes.It's funny and silly. It's got gangsters, music and drag. It's a whole lot betterthan the trash movies being churned out by the modern studios right now in my opinion!

Worth owning!

The 4K Blu-ray of Some Like it Hot, one of the funniest and most beloved comedies of all time, looks great. Not mind bogglingly incredible like some 4K Blu-rays, but a pretty huge step up from any other version out in any other format.Being a film from it's time period, the film grain was a little thick for my taste, but that's the way film stock from that time period was. No way to reduce it without reducing fine detail in the picture (and the fine detail looks very good--I'm glad they didn't mess with it in any way).The addition of HDR certainly brings some welcome and very attractive "pop" and "sparkle" to the image that SDR versions will unfortunately always lack by their very nature. This is by far the best I have ever seen this wonderful movie look and I am extremely happy I made the purchase of this 4K disc.The movie itself is one of the most popular comedies of all time. In it, Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis (who's character has a reputation as an incorrigible womanizer) play prohibition era musicians who accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day massacre and, as a result of being the only living witnesses, become hunted by the mob (who would like to turn them into "no longer living" witnesses).Since the mob is watching every bus and train station while hunting them, the only way the two musicians can come up with to escape the city under the mob's noses is to dress up as women and travel by train in the guise of the newest members to join an all woman band travelling to a job in Florida.The idea is that once they reach their destination and are safely away from the city and in Florida (where the band has their gig at a very posh resort hotel) they'll then ditch the women's clothing and skedaddle.But, then they meet the sexy and vivacious Marilyn Monroe, who simply can't be resisted by the lecherous Tony Curtis. He must have her and simply cannot fight his hormones enough to resist, even if it means keeping up the routine of being a woman in order to, counter intuitively, get close to her.And then arrives the millionaire on the scene, played by comedian Joe E. Brown, who falls head over heals for Jack Lemon while in the guise of his female alter ego Daphne. And the millionaire will not take no for an answer! He showers Jack Lemon with gifts and fancy dates so overwhelming that they actually begin to turn his head! He gets so carried away that he has to keep reminding himself over and over again that he's not actually a woman!This is one crazy, goofy, and very funny classic masterpiece of a comedy that has remained beloved by viewers over the many decades since it was first made.If you love this movie (and many, many millions like myself do), then this 4K disc is a must buy item. I can't imagine a better version ever being available. This disc is truly the penultimate version of this wonderful film.

I saw this movie in the movies back in 1959 and forgot how funny it was. Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis were so funny dressed as women to get away from Mobsters who were after them. Monroe delivered her lines beautifully. I forgot how sexy she was. The movie finished perfectly. Lemon tells the millionaire chasing him that he is a guy and the millionaire tells him no body is perfect. What finish. a true comedy that was well acted and funny to the end.

ok

Wonderful acting with a great comical script

Amazing 4K picture for this classic movie. Another great Kino Lorber 4k release. Vast improvement over old MGM blu ray. Second blu ray disc containing special features is also region free.

Liebe diesen Film seit JahrenDVD topp.

J'avais commandé celui-ci en "marketplace" mais j'ai reçu celui dont j(ai fait un scan . Donc pour ce qui est du bonus, je me réfère à celui de la photo qui est en vente sur ce site..Un trio de feu : Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis* et Marilyn Monroe - mais aussi d'autres vedettes et les figurantes de l'orchestre elles aussi très jolies et d' exceptionnelles actrices - le tout dans une comédie totalement déjantée pour l’époque. Billy Wilder a mis quatre ans après avoir tourné « Sept ans de réflexion » pour retrouver son actrice fétiche –Marilyn Monroe- dans son nouveau film « Certains l’aiment chaud ». Encore une fois par des dialogues très coquins et tendancieux mais aussi par des scènes assez « hot » qui cependant feraient sourire aujourd’hui – ah le chanceux Tony Curtis ;--)) – avec des robes ou des nuisettes qui dénudent plus que n’habillent Marilyn Monroe et des chansons magnifiques ; Wilder repousse de nouveau la censure qui sera présente ne l’oublions pas jusqu’en 1968 à Hollywood - le triste Code Hayes. Un film que Wilder a voulu tourner en NB car pour lui cela reflétait plus l'ambiance des films de gangsters du début des années trente et grâce à cette décision il a fait mouche.Le bonus est exceptionnel et comprend : - une longue interview datant de 2001 de Tony Curtis- dans cette interview, il jure qu'il n'a jamais dit que "embrasser Marilyn, c'est comme embrasser Hitler", d'ailleurs cette affirmation, il ne la comprend pas lui-même. - l’interview de quatre anciennes figurantes de l’orchestre, également datant de 2001. - le Hall de la mémoire - qui est en dessin virtuel le hall de l'hôtel- avec des séquences sur Marilyn Monroe, sur Tony Curtis, sur Jacl Lemmon, sur Billy Wilder et les dernières intitulées « behind the film ».* Tony Curtis fut mon idole dans l'enfance avec la série "Amicalement vôtre" qui passait sur TF1 dans l'émission "la Une est à vous" dans laquelle le public chez lui devait choisir entre trois séries. Je portais souvent des gants comme Danny Wilde ;--)). Par contre dans l'interview , j'ai retrouvé un vieux monsieur assez vaniteux, je viens de commander son livre de souvenirs sur ce film , livre qu'il a fait écrire par un écrivain pro, je vous dirai ce que j'en pense .En attendant, je me passe avec plaisir et en boucle certains moments cultes de ce film magnifique.
