Some Like It Hot

Directed by Billy Wilder

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement of a further lockdown in England, HOME will close temporarily from Thu 5 Nov 2020.  We will be contacting ticketholders affected by the new rules this week. Please bear with us as our phonelines will be busier than usual. We will also post updates on our social media channels and website. Thanks for your patience.

Billy Wilder’s multi-award-winning satire tracks two penniless musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), whose chance witness of a gangland massacre forces them to flee Chicago. They soon realise that the only out-of-town jobs are in an all-girl band heading to Florida, and the two drag themselves up as Josephine and Geraldine in order to escape.

However, they both soon become enamoured with the band’s desirable vocalist Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), and their escapades wreak havoc upon their love lives as they struggle for her affection while maintaining their disguises.

Please note: no ads or trailer will be shown before this screening.
