Wed 9/30 @ 6PM
The 1959 film Some Like It Hot has become one of the most iconic in the history of cinema. It stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag as a pair of musicians fleeing the mob who join an all-woman band in disguise — and fall for the band’s ukulele player/vocalist, played by Marilyn Monroe. Of course they did!
Which one ends up with her? If you don’t know (and even if you do!), join other movie buffs for a screening of this classic at the Capitol Theatre in Gordon Square. The film starts at 7:15pm, but beginning at 6, there’s a pre-film cocktail party. Your admission includes light appetizer, a mini-cocktail or fountain drink and music.
All of that is only $6, less than you’d pay at the multiplex for some by-the-numbers thriller that doesn’t have Marilyn Monroe in it. And you can bask in the non-sterile environs of an old, restored theater original constructed in 1921, just eight years before the time period Some Like It Hot is set in.
