Featuring the incomparable talents of two AFI Life Achievement Award recipients – director Billy Wilder and star Jack Lemmon – SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959) also features timeless performances from Tony Curtis, Joe E. Brown and Marilyn Monroe – who was named by AFI, along with Lemmon, among the greatest screen legends of all time. The iconic comedy also appears on AFI’s lists of the greatest movies of all time – the original lists and the 10th anniversary edition – as well as among the art form’s greatest comedies. Its unforgettable final line – “Well, nobody’s perfect.” – was counted among the most memorable movie quotes.
