178. Name the Curtis, Lemmon, Monroe pleaser from 1959 with Curtis and Lemmon playing two lady musicians hiding out from the mob.
From Quiz Man or Woman-You Decide!
Answer:
Some Like It Hot
In 'Some Like It Hot', Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon play two jazz musicians who accidentally witness a gangland murder. To escape the mob, they go undercover by joining a women-only band dressed as women themselves. Marilyn Monroe stars as the group's charismatic singer, Sugar Kane, who also becomes the object of Curtis's affections.
Although Monroe gave a captivating performance, especially with her sultry rendition of 'I Wanna Be Loved By You', filming wasn't always smooth. She was frequently late and had trouble recalling her lines, which created friction with director Billy Wilder.
The end result, however, was a smash hit, as the film was a box office success. It racked up six Oscar nominations and took home the award for Best Costume Design in black-and-white.
