What conquered the Soviet audience mischievous film about musicians who changed into ladies’ outfits Bashny.Net

Old American comedies are considered a bit flat. But there are also those that we enjoy reviewing over and over again. Topping the list is Billy Wilder’s timeless masterpiece Some Like It Hot.





The American Film Institute recognized the film as the funniest in the history of cinema. The eccentric comedy won an Oscar and three Golden Globe Awards. And the witty phrases of her characters forever entered our lexicon.

The story of hapless musicians forced to change into ladies' outfits, was released in 1959. Few people know that the legendary Frank Sinatra was originally invited to the role of the saxophonist Joe and Josephine!



The golden voice of the XX century ignored the offer, which he regretted more than once later. It is interesting that at first Marilyn Monroe refused the role of Sugar, as frivolous. The situation was saved by the husband of the actress writer-playwright Arthur Miller, who immediately liked the script.



Inventing replicas of the characters, the writers actively used the play of words. Irony, metaphors and allegory allowed them to touch on forbidden topics at the time. And the sparkling dialogue from the film remains extremely relevant even 60 years later.

   - Shave? They want to take our heads off, and you're gonna shave?
   - Shave your legs, dummy.
2. These gangsters will shoot us, the police will find two female corpses, we will be taken to the women's morgue, and when we are stripped naked, I will die of shame!
