...Diamond's writing is crackerjack, and Wilder's direction snappy and inspired, but the success of "Some Like It Hot" rests primarily on its legendary cast. Marilyn Monroe is sweet and voluptuous, and gets to sing "I want to Be Loved by You." Curtis acquits himself with grace, especially in the millionaire bit. Joe E.

Many of 1995's fashion heroes, including Lagerfeld and Versace, took their inspiration from Givenchy. Stung by the consequences of forays into ugliness, they turned to a designer who has always brought grace and charm alive...
