Some like it hot: the best quotes from the movie Some Like It Hot
At first, this comedy was supposed to be called “Not Today Josephine,” then during the course of work it changed the name to “Some Like It Hot,” and was released in the Soviet box office as “Only Girls in Jazz.” The black-and-white film makes the movie seem hopelessly old, but the comedy, beloved by millions, was filmed at a time when color cinema was already flourishing. It’s just that this stylization seemed more successful to the creators, because the plot of the film dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. In addition, in monochrome the makeup of male actors dressed as women did not look so ridiculous and garish.
In fact, the film is a remake of the German film “Fanfare of Love”, where male musicians were also forced to dress up as women to tour with the orchestra. The main characters of the American version were incredibly comical, the pregnancy of the magnificent Marilyn Monroe somewhat interfered with filming, the actress looks a little plumper than usual in the film. When they were photographing the process, they often even edited the heads of Marilyn and other actresses.
It was a very difficult shoot for the actress; she was going through a severe crisis and had many psychological problems. In some scenes, she didn’t even memorize the text, she read from a sheet of paper; if you look closely, it becomes noticeable how she reads the lines, glancing from one to the other.
The film was almost in jeopardy when Monroe was admitted to a clinic after attempting to commit suicide. But after a long delay, it was finished. The film was nominated for an Oscar, but received only one award - for the costumes. Despite this, the film was named the best comedy in the entire history of Hollywood cinema, the songs are still incredibly popular, and the characters’ dialogues are parsed into quotes.

15 naughty quotes from the film “Some Like It Hot”
The film “Some Like It Hot” (the working title of the film is “Not Today, Josephine”, in Russian distribution - “Some Like It Hot”) is actually black and white not because that's old. This is a stylization of early 20th century cinema - it was created based on the French film “Fanfare of Love” and its 1951 German remake of the same name. Then the story of two musicians who dressed up as ladies to tour with an all-female orchestra hit American soil.
Initially, the film was planned to be shot in color, but after several tests this idea was abandoned due to the too unnatural appearance of the heavy makeup of the main characters in the form of girls. It looked more natural in black and white.
Marilyn Monroe was pregnant during filming and, as a result, looked noticeably fuller than usual. To produce photographic materials about the film, the bodies of body doubles were used, to which Monroe's head was subsequently mounted. Marilyn could read many of the dialogues only by looking at the text - in many scenes you can see her eyes running over the lines. While working on the film, Marilyn Monroe experienced a serious psychological crisis, ending up in the hospital after attempting suicide. Due to this, the completion of the film was delayed.
It just so happened that the only Oscar for the film, which was named the best comedy in the history of American cinema, went only for the costumes in the black and white film. But everything can be explained simply - that year the biblical supercolossus “Ben Hur” reigned on the Cinema Olympus, winning all possible awards.
The songs performed in the film, in particular “I Wanna Be Loved by You,” gained immense popularity. And the heroes’ phrases forever entered the colloquial language:
These gangsters will shoot us, the police will find two women's corpses, they will take us to the women's morgue, and when they strip us there, I will die of shame!
- Just look at that gait. You know, even my head is spinning. She probably has a motor inside, left-right, left-right.
Men with glasses often seem defenseless.
“What to do, what to do” - shave your legs!
- Is he drunk or stupid? - From hunger. My stomach is empty and my head is fuzzy. Where it’s thin, that’s where it breaks!
“We’ll never be able to compare with them, Joe.” – Why are you afraid, they won’t force you to give birth to a child!
- Hey, conservators, where did you work before? In dance classes? - No, at the funeral. - Please, rise from the dead. At the pace, girls, at the pace.
— You studied at the conservatory, didn’t you? - Yes, one year. - You said three? “We were released early for good behavior.”
— Does your wife whip up cocktails? - No, my valet. — Does your wife give the signal on the yacht? - No, butler. I'm not married, if that's what you're wondering.
I don't care if he's rich, as long as he has a yacht, his own railroad and toothpaste under his name.
- How do they walk in such heels?! How do they maintain balance?! - Their center of gravity is in a different place.
- Come listen to us in the evening! - I don’t know if I can, but I’ll try... - Oh, please! If you don't come, we will be very upset! And grab a yacht!
– I was married seven or eight times. -Are you not sure? - My mother keeps score.
- Here is Osgood Fielding III! - And I’m Cinderella Second!
- He pinched me. Do you see what it's like for women? And I'm not even pretty. - The main thing is that you are wearing a skirt. She is like a red rag to a bull for them. - I'm tired of being a doormat. I want to become a bull again.
I made an agreement with the coast guard. There will be a full moon at night.
- Listen, I can’t marry you! - Why? - Well, first of all, I’m not blonde! - It's not scary. - I smoke! Constantly! - It's not a problem. - I will never have children. - It’s okay, we’ll adopt. - Lord, I'm a MAN! - Everyone has their own shortcomings.

Now during quarantine, when everything in the city is closed and you can’t leave the house, when there are few orders and almost no work (and the child studies remotely in the first half of the day, and the second half of the day is free), and in order not to die of boredom while sitting at home, All that remains is to read books and watch your favorite movies. Favorite Soviet cinema, French, English and of course Hollywood, favorite period called the Golden Age of Hollywood
, 50s - 70s.
And we began to organize family movie viewings more often, before we did it once a week, on weekends, but now we watch every day, some kind of movie all together (not counting, of course, Indian cinema, which I watch every evening alone). And just yesterday, we remembered this Hollywood film from the distant 50s, and watched it with pleasure. The musical comedy “Some Like It Hot”
or
“Some Like It Hot”
is rightfully considered a classic of world cinema.
It was filmed by the legendary Billy Wilder
Marilyn Monroe
played in it , she received an Oscar and was remembered and loved in this country by more than one generation of viewers around the world.
I don't know what to write about the classics. This film does not leave the screens and will not come off for many decades. At least because of one phrase “Well, everyone has their own shortcomings
.
Brilliant actors, production, music, plot. Sheer pleasure. According to the plot of the film, musicians Joe
and
Jerry
are unlucky: they find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and witness a mafia showdown.
To avoid becoming the gangsters' next victims, they flee to Florida, disguised as women and joining a female jazz band. Their names are now Daphne
and
Josephine
.
It would seem, who would suspect two instrumentalists of a female musical ensemble of being men? The disguise is perfect. But very soon their wonderful plan begins to crack: Josephine
falls in love with the lead singer of a jazz band,
Darling
, and an aging millionaire is falling for
Daphne
, and the mafioso turns out to be not such a simpleton and begins to guess that
Daphne
and
Josephine
are the very witnesses to the shootout who are needed remove...
The film is incomparable
.
Filmed according to the precepts of Chaplin
, this is a tragi-comedy.
It’s better to watch it in Soviet voice acting, it added even more humor and liveliness to the picture. Bravo, great film. By the way, about the dubbing: I definitely like the Soviet dubbing - nostalgia, the voices are chosen correctly, very subtle humor, and, well, habit, again. Then the option, when it was fashionable to show films, clearly demonstrating which frames were cut out - in my opinion, the most unfortunate option: different voices, drawn scissors are distracting, and the feeling that these pieces were cut out correctly, do not contain any new information, and, mostly specific - on some topics known only to Americans. And recently I saw it in a completely new dubbing - and the voices of the actors are heard, and the translation is very successful - yet a lot also depends on the sense of humor of the translators. A timeless comedy classic, a wonderful film
!
Well, what else can I say? Everything has already been said: humor, lines, acting - everything is at the highest level!
This won't be filmed now .
It never gets boring - it looks like the first time. Every phrase spoken, every gesture, every look of the actors evokes a storm of positive emotions, lifts the mood, makes you rejoice and laugh until you cry
.
The film is very well-sounded. Those people who dubbed the roles are real professionals, because they were the ones who conveyed those necessary intonations of voices that make us laugh so much. A film with a capital letter! I love this film very much, although I must admit that it was completely in vain to return what the Soviet censorship cut out. In general, it is interesting to look at how the life of a bygone era is depicted - 1929 through the eyes of 1959. For example, the idea is unobtrusively conveyed that despite the fact that there is a “prohibition” law in the country, most of the characters get alcohol somewhere and drink freely. I don’t know if it was like that in life. This is probably a stereotype that has become entrenched in the mass consciousness of late times. Jack Lemmon
is hilariously funny and has amazing comedic talent!
I really love the moment when Joe
returns from a date, and
Jerry/Daphne
is lying on the bed, playing maracas and singing, looking at
Joe
and saying that he was offered marriage and he agreed.
A great moment that clearly captures the essence. Marilyn Monroe
is beauty and femininity itself... In my opinion, this is a rare case when Hollywood succeeded in a comedy.
Although, in the 50s it was no different. The film is flawless as a musical comedy
.
It has dressing up, love, wonderful music, good humor, and, of course, a pursuit. And the performers of the main and secondary roles do not cause any complaints at all. Well done! No matter how much you watch, we always love, this film is fresh and beautiful, you relax watching it with both soul and heart. Thank you very much to its creators, actors and everyone who took part in its filming. You can watch endlessly. Even if you have already seen this film, I recommend once again immersing yourself in its pleasant atmosphere
.
This picture is precisely intended to distract from reality and some problems. After all, the plot is naive, ordinary, but the way life situations are played out is fun, with unobtrusive humor. The decoration of the action is Marilyn Monroe
, the pearl of the world classic.
No time will be wasted watching it, no doubt, especially now during quarantine. 10 of 10
