I had seen a few films about Marilyn Monroe, such as "Blonde", but I hadn't seen any with her. And until now, it was a bit unclear to me why she was such a big star—after all, all these movies highlight all the problems in her life. But after watching "Some Like It Hot," I finally know why Monroe became such an icon—she really is fantastic from her first scene. Her pin-up look is also extremely different from most other actresses of her time, so there was something unique about her.

The movie itself is also great, and most importantly, the humor is timeless. It's a sort of campy black comedy with slapstick touches, and its simplicity means it's still funny today. And fortunately, there are also not many elements that would make you grit your teeth with a modern look: unlike many other films of the time, "Some Like It Hot" definitely doesn't need a content warning these days. I doubt I'll have seen this movie for the last time, if only because it's an extremely well-rounded viewing experience, from the beginning to the last line of dialogue. You can't go wrong starting with this one if you want to catch up on older films.
