"Legendary director Billy Wilder's 1959 comedy Some Like It Hot follows two Prohibition-era jazz musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), who, after witnessing a mob hit in Chicago, flee to Florida by impersonating women and joining an all-female band. (The movie, one of Marilyn Monroe's last, won her a Golden Globe.) The film is so iconic it inspired the 2022 musical, created by composer Marc Shaiman and lyricist Scott Wittman (the duo behind Hairspray), which earned four Tonys."
