This time, I rewatched Some Like It Hot, another Wilder-Lemmon collab. I wasn’t paying much attention the first time I saw it (teenhood, hormones, adhd…), but this time I gave it the focus it deserves, and boy does it not disappoint. Comparatively, SLIT definitely requires more leaps of faith and suspensions of disbelief than The Apartment, but I gotta imagine the comedy is just as sharp today as it was in '59. Both leads are great, as is Monroe, but boy did Jack Lemmon really shine even amongst a an excellent cast.
If it’s been a while for you too, time for a rewatch.
Recommend.
