Some Like It Hot (1959)

Join us at Film Club! This week’s feature is Some Like it Hot, chosen by CJ MaGilton, one of the Board members for Downtown Theater Project, the nonprofit that manages the Indiana Theater. CJ will lead a short discussion after the film.

After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy, Jerry (Jack Lemmon), improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. Disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band’s sexy singer, Sugar (Marilyn Monroe), Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire (Joe E. Brown) as things heat up and the mobsters close in.

Part of our Film Club series, which includes a film & discussion on a favorite film chosen by one of our members, staff, or volunteers. Film Club happens every 1st & 3rd Tuesday at 7pm. $10 admission, and free for members!
