Few moviemakers nowadays would dare stake a whole picture, as he did in Some Like It Hot, on the comedy to be derived from two muscular men dressing up as girls. Few producers would have permitted themselves, as Billy did in Sunset Boulevard, to start a movie with a corpse floating in a swimming pool and then have the corpse himself tell the story.
