A rapid fire comedy with an absolutely incredible script. One of Wilder's best, I loved all the previous film references. The script is elevated from how good it already was from the performances from the actors, James Cagney is incredible here.

KFWH: Wilder November

Frenetic, frantic, and hilarious!!!

Coincidentally sat to enjoy this with a lovely can of Coca-Cola.

I kinda fell off this challenge but I will watch all of these movies by the end of the year (except the grapes of wrath, sorry Ford) or I will be dead!

Anyways, reminded me a lot of Hawks’ His Girl Friday with its pounding dialogue and biting satire. Sounds like how a headache feels in the best way possible. Also such an interesting artifact of the precise moment in history it was made.

So many fun little gags, I loved when Melanie was humming the music from the car chase sequence (insane by the way, movies used to be so cool) in the scene after it. Just so many little nods and winks, while still being a little angry and cynical. Cagney in great form here too!

Billy Wilder’s way of blending deep topics with irony is so brilliant that it genuinely makes people admire him.. In general, the humor in old films feels very unique and actually “funny”.. As someone who used to never watch comedies because I found them ridiculous, insulting, and vulgar, my whole perspective on comedy completely changed after watching Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot.. Unfortunately, films made under the comedy genre today have become so cheap and disgusting that it genuinely affects people’s intelligence and perception because of how normalized it has become.. Another thing I love about Billy Wilder is that he never portrays one side as completely good; he shows the people and ideologies of both East and West Germany, and the absurdity and irrationality of the Cold War, by not taking any of it seriously — in other words, he criticizes it without criticizing it


Billy Wilder'ın derin olayları ironiyla harmanlayarak ele alması o kadar müthiş ki insanı kendine hayran ediyor.. Genel olarak ztn eski filmlerin mizahı çok özel ve gerçekten "komik".. Eskiden çok saçma, aşağılayıcı ve terbiyesiz bulduğum için asla komedi filmi izlemeyen biri olarak, Billy Wilder'ın Some Like It Hot'ını izlediğimden beri komediye karşı bakış açım tamamen değişti.. Maalesef şu anki komedi türü altında yapılan filmler o kadar seviyesiz ve iğrenç bir hal aldı ki, insanların zeka seviyelerini ve algılarını değiştiriyor bu durum.. Billy Wilder'ın sevdiğim bir diğer yanı da hiçbir tarafı tamamen iyi göstermemesi, Almanya'nın Doğu'suyla Batı'sındaki insanları, ideolojileri, Soğuk Savaş'ın absürtlüğünü mantıksızlığını göstermek amacıyla ciddiye almadan, yani eleştirmeden eleştiriyor
