SOME LIKE IT HOT (U) 1h 57m MATINEE 2PM

Dir: Billy Wilder

Cast: Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon

Genre: Comedy

Two down-on-their-luck jazz musicians (Curtis and Lemmon) find themselves out of a job and on the lam after witnessing the St Valentine’s Day massacre of 1929. With no money and nowhere to hide, a gig with Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators in sunny seems like the perfect way to escape the clutches of Chicago mobster George Raft. There’s just one hitch: the Syncopators are an all-female band.

In what might just be the greatest screwball comedy of errors ever committed to film, the highlights include Curtis’s playboy parody of Cary Grant, and what’s surely one of the great curtain lines of all time: Joe E. Brown’s bland “nobody’s perfect” when his fiancée (Lemmon) finally confesses that she’s a he.

Cafe opens from 10am serving delicious home made cakes, Crankhouse Coffee and Specialty Teas. Bar opens from 12pm serving cocktails, fine wines, craft beers and bar snacks. Last orders 10 minutes before the film starts.

Film starts promptly at 2pm.
