SOME LIKE IT HOT tonight at the Ron Robinson Theater

Some_Like_It_Hot_posterNobody’s Perfect. But Some Like It Hot comes pretty close to it.

Billy Wilder’s screwball comedy set in the 1920s stars Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe.  Written by Wilder and his longtime scribe partner I.A.L. Diamond, it tells the tale of two musicians who witness the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre and must go undercover to escape the attention of some mobsters.  Along the way, they meet a big-hearted blonde who always gets the fuzzy end of the lollipop stick, a randy aging millionaire and a spats wearing gangster.

Joining Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe in the cast are Joe E. Brown, George Raft, Pat O’Brien, and many others.

Shot in black and white, this movie’s zany characters provide enough color regardless of the film stock.  The film was nominated for six Oscars; it won for Orry-Kelly’s Black and White costume design.

The movie starts at 7pm tonight. Admission is $5. Concessions are available for purchase as well.
