Notes: 

The film is a remake by Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond of a 1935 French movie, Fanfare d'Amour, from a story by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan, which was also remade in 1951 by German director Kurt Hoffmann as Fanfaren der Liebe. However, the plots of the French and German films did not include the gangster motif, which is an integral part of the drama in Some Like It Hot.

In 2000, the American Film Institute listed Some Like It Hot as the greatest American comedy film of all time.

Marilyn Monroe worked for 10% of the gross in excess of $4 million, Tony Curtis for 5% of the gross over $2 million and Billy Wilder 17.5% of the first million after breakeven and 20% thereafter.[1]

The Florida segment, at the fictitious "Seminole Ritz", was filmed at the Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, California.[2]

Some Like It Hot received a "C" (Condemned) rating from the National Legion of Decency (formerly the Catholic Legion of Decency). The film, along with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and several other films, contributed to the end of the Production Code in the mid-1960s. It was released by United Artists without the MPAA logo in the credits or title sequence, since the film did not receive Production Code approval.

Tony Curtis is frequently quoted as saying that kissing Marilyn Monroe was like "kissing Hitler". However, during a 2001 interview with Leonard Maltin, Curtis stated that he had never made this claim.[3] In his 2008 autobiography, Curtis notes that he did make the statement to the film crew, but it was meant in a joking manner.[4] During his appearance at the Jules Verne Festival in France in 2008, Curtis claimed on the set of Laurent Ruquier's TV show that he and Monroe were lovers in the late 1940s when they were first struggling for recognition in films.



This release is really intended for serious collectors who prefer untouched DVD's rather than ones that have been stripped or the video and audio reduced to .avi quality. If you are the sort that thinks that .avi video is acceptable, then this release is probably not for you. This is a complete retail disk that has been untouched, other than to be compressed to fit on a DVD5 disk, for those of you who are bandwidth challenged, or don't have DVD9 disks. If you would prefer the original DVD9 format I have released it in that version as well, search for it.
