Some Like It Hot is a 1959 American black-and-white romantic comedy film directed and produced by Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon. The supporting cast includes George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Brown, Joan Shawlee, Grace Lee Whitney, and Nehemiah Persoff. The screenplay by Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond is based on a screenplay by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan from the 1935 French film Fanfare of Love. The film is about two musicians (Joe and Jerry) who disguise themselves as women named Josephine and Daphne in order to escape from mafia gangsters whom they witnessed committing a crime. They joined Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators, an all-female band headed (by train) to Miami.

An actual millionaire, the much-married aging mama's-boy Osgood Fielding III, persistently pursues "Daphne" (Jerry); her refusals only increase his appetite.

Jerry lists reasons why "Daphne" and Osgood cannot marry, ranging from a smoking habit to infertility. Osgood dismisses them all; he loves Daphne and is determined to go through with the marriage. Exasperated, Jerry removes his wig and snaps, "I'm a man!" Osgood, unfazed, replies: "Well, nobody's perfect." Jerry, nonplussed, tries to digest this.
