Some Like It Hot is a comedy. It is a simple story of two male musicians who accidently witness a homicide committed by members of organized crime. In order to hide from the criminals, they join a girls band and travel with them to hotel where they are scheduled to play for a an extended engagement. It's always hilarious to watch heterosexual men try to pass themselves off as women. This was the premese behind the popular television series Bosom Buddies starring Tom Hanks. It becomes even funnier when romantic interests are introduced. One of the men falls for Marilyn Monroe. Another man falls for one of the men in drag. In the end they find some way to escape the mob and reveal their true identities to their love interests.
The simple story has been told so many times that the real fun of this movie is Marily Monroe. I've heard so much about her that it was fun to finally see one of her movies. it was stragne to realize that after everything I've heard, in the end, she was just an actress, but she was a wonderful actress. She was a delight to see on the screen.
