Program Description

Event Details

Join film historian Larry Wolff for a hot time that is sure to warm your February chill as he presents Some Like it Hot. Voted the funniest film of all time, it features hot jazz, gangland slayings, female impersonations, amazingly funny dialogue, crisp black and white photography and lots of laughs. This film helped to break Hollywood’s infamous Hays Code about decency portrayed in Hollywood films.  Learn the back story of the many difficulties that were involved in the production.  Film veterans Joe E. Brown, George Raft and Pat O’Brien help to round out the cast and make this an unforgettable film with the most memorable closing line in celluloid history!  The presentation includes soundtrack music, and a book, autograph and memorabilia display.
