Enjoy a special introduction from Omaha Performing Arts before the film! And, don't miss Broadway's Tony-winning musical Some Like It Hot at the Orpheum from March 25-30. Get your tickets for their production here.

One of the most beloved films of all time, this sizzling masterpiece by Billy Wilder set a new standard for Hollywood comedy. With a whip-smart script by Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond, and sparking chemistry among its finely tuned cast, Some Like It Hot is as deliriously funny and fresh today as it was when it first knocked audiences out six decades ago.

After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy, Jerry (Jack Lemmon), improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. Disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band's sexy singer, Sugar (Marilyn Monroe), Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire (Joe E. Brown) as things heat up and the mobsters close in.

Reviews

"To coin a phrase, Marilyn has never looked better. Her performance as “Sugar,” the fuzzy blonde who likes saxophone players “and men with glasses” has a deliciously naive quality. She’s a comedienne with that combination of sex appeal and timing that just can’t be beat." – Variety

"Effortlessly fluent, joyous and buoyant: a high-concept comedy that stays as high as a kite, while other comedies flag. 'Nobody’s perfect' is the last line. Wilder, Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe come pretty close." – The Guardian
