Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe are outstanding as the Billy Wilder classic, Some Like It Hot, is released in the UK on 4K UHD Blu-ray for the first time!
There are classics, and then there’s the iconic classics. One of which is about to hit the UK on 4K UHD Blu-ray for the first time. Altitude and Capelight Pictures are thrilled to bring Billy Wilder’s classic crime comedy, Some Like it Hot, to the UK for the first time in 4K on UHD Blu-ray. To celebrate the release, a 3-disc Limited Collector’s Edition Mediabook will be available from 18th May.
From writer and director Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard, The Apartment), Some Like it Hot stars Marilyn Monroe (All About Eve), Tony Curtis (Spartacus), and Jack Lemmon (The Apartment). In 1960, the film won the Oscar for Best Costume Design and three Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture – Comedy, Best Actor – Musical/Comedy (Jack Lemmon), and Best Actress – Musical/Comedy (Marilyn Monroe).
THE PREMISE
In Some Like It Hot, two Chicago musicians, Joe and Jerry, witness the Valentine’s Day Massacre. Fearing the gangster Spats Colombo, the two flee. On their journey to another state, they meet Sugar Kane Kowalczyk and her all-female band. They spontaneously join the group – with new identities. Disguised as women, they now perform as Josephine and Daphne. However, it doesn’t take long for the next trouble to arise…
This parody of gangster films and melodramas is one of Billy Wilder’s best-known and most popular works. It is also Marilyn Monroe’s most successful film. In 2000, the American Film Institute named the film the funniest American film of all time.
The 3-disc Limited Collector’s Edition Mediabook contains the movie on UHD-Blu-ray (in 4K with Dolby Vision and HDR10) and Blu-ray, a Bonus-Blu-ray and a 24-page booklet.
