Since “Death Insurance “, “Sunset Boulevard” or “The Seven Year Itch”, Billy Wilder has been the precursor of the film noir, the master of iconoclastic comedy. With “Some like it hot”, he audaciously mixes genres. The film is a burlesque parody, a thriller, a musical comedy and an innovative look at the confusion of sexes. The film boasts an exceptional cast for a nightmarish shoot. Marilyn’s psychological and physical distress and Wilder’s inflexible authority will give rise to anthological memories. The period is characterized by a declining America confronted with the communist upsurge that threatens to spread as far as Cuba. It was also the time of McCarthyism and its witch hunt. The era of a mythical cinema that is about to disappear.
