Some Like it Hot - Steven Cohan (BFI Film Classics)
Tax included.
'Some Like it Hot' by Steven Cohan (BFI Film Classics 104-page paperback)
Steven Cohan's study of Billy Wilder's classic screwball comedy disentangles its production history and subsequent notoriety from the film itself, reconsidering the ways in which it playfully challenged generic and gender conventions of the 1950s. He provides an in depth analysis of the film's near perfect comedic structure, Wilder's aesthetic choices and self-reflexive star performances by Curtis, Lemmon and Monroe.
