Some Like It Hot

Step back in time to the golden age of Hollywood as Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema presents a special screening of the 1959 comedy masterpiece, *Some Like It Hot*. This screening is part of the Academy Midtown Matinees series and serves as a tribute to the legendary Marilyn Monroe in honour of what would have been her 100th birthday.

Why It’s a Must-Watch Directed by Billy Wilder and co-written with I.A.L. Diamond, *Some Like It Hot* is consistently ranked among the greatest comedies ever made. The plot follows two musicians who, after witnessing a mob hit, disguise themselves as women to join an all-female band headed to Florida. The film features iconic performances from Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon, alongside a stellar supporting cast including Joe E. Brown and George Raft.

The Venue Located in the heart of the Annex on Bloor Street West, the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema is the perfect venue for this classic. Before or after the film, you’re just steps away from some of the best cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood. It’s a fantastic way to spend a Saturday afternoon, whether you’re seeing this classic for the first time or the fiftieth.
