Some Like It Hot

Directed by Billy Wilder
In Prohibition-era Chicago, musicians Joe and Jerry witness a mob hit, and flee the state in an all-female band disguised as Josephine and Daphne, but further complications set in.
Why it matters
Two musicians on the run from the mob disguise themselves as women in an all-female band, with uproarious and unexpectedly tender results.
